George Washington DS
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Rare Revolutionary War dated document signed by its Commanding General George Washington. From New Windsor dated 8 June 1783, signed ''Geo Washington'', the partly printed document discharges James Ranking, a private in the 1st New York Regiment. Countersigned by John Trumbell as Colonel and Washington's aide, and Joab Stafford, Colonel of the Silver Greys, a battery of Berkshire volunteers. Washington's signature, though large and prominent, is slightly obscured by a horizontal fold and marred by evidence of verso tape, slight missing paper between ''G'' and ''e'' of first name and the ''o'' of last name. Single page folio document bears slight toning and folds throughout, though generally very good. Overall a very attractive document with remnants of red wax seal still intact and ''By His Excellency / George Washington'' clearly printed atop document.
