Revolutionary War-dated printed broadside, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 8.5 x 13.5, dated December 4, 1780. A resolution requiring inhabitants to "furnish a Number of Cattle or Money sufficient to purchase the same, that the Quantity of Beef, including Hides and Tallow, may amount to Four Million Six Hundred and Twenty six Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-eigth Pounds" for the use of the Continental Army. A schedule of the specific weights to be provided by each town is printed on page two and three. The resolution also details how the payments are to be made, and the penalties for not furnishing the required goods in a timely fashion. Hancock’s name is printed at the conclusion of the broadside. In very good condition, with small separations along horizontal folds and hinge, uniform toning, and scattered edge wear.
