(REPAIRING INDEPENDENCE HALL)
War-date receipt 1p. 12mo., Philadelphia, Dec. 23, 1779, in part: "...Please to pay Mr. Manuel Eyre one hundred and fifty eight Pounds twelve shillings and six pence for 423 seantling…for state house…". Apparently "seantling" was form of stick or lattice used in the integral construction process. A great document showing that public affairs continued even during the war. Very good.
