Federal Period
1796 “Library Company of Philadelphia” Printed Receipt
May 2, 1796-Dated Federal Period, Partially-Printed Document, Receipt from the “Library Company of Philadelphia,” Choice Very Fine.
Original Document being a Printed Receipt for payment of fifteen shillings (overwritten "Ten" shillings), issued to a Catharine Wistar, Signed by Richard Morris, Treasurer. Some uneven margin edges, minor foxing, printed a little out of alignment. Its text reads, in part: “being his (sic) Payment for the present Year, in Pursuance of the Charter and Laws of the Library...". Very Scarce.
