Manuscript DS, one page, 7.5 x 9, November 17, 1792. Hancock appoints Azor Orne as “an Elector of the President & Vice President of the United States.” Signed on the left side by Hancock as governor of Massachusetts and countersigned by Under Secretary John Avery. Paper seal affixed to the upper right is mostly intact and heavily soiled. Intersecting folds (some with trivial separations), overall soiling and central dampstaining, and trimmed edges slightly affecting the beginning of the signature, otherwise very good condition. As an elector, Orne voted on the behalf of Massachusetts to elect George Washington to his second presidential term.
