CONDITION:

Some tearing at folds including pinholes with some prior repairs done on them showing either transparent tape or a more sophisticated method. Seal shows the paper remnant removed from the hole at the top of the page. Stamped twice with the term "Free" & a blue circle of "Lancaster, Pa. JAN 25" along with spotting, toning, wrinkling, and general overall wear. Notation in an unknown hand to the right of the seal indicates that this is "From Hon James Buchanan Washington Jan 22d 42 and Feb 24 42"" All grammatical errors and incorrect spellings in the text are present in the document itself, not changed or edited in my description. Slight toning with minimal wear to corners and edges, save any previous description.
