DS, signed “Wm. H. Harrison, A D C” one page, 7 x 2.25, July 29, 1795. Receipt reading “Greenville, The commissary will issue for the Delawares thirty nine pounds of flour & beef.” Signed at the conclusion by Harrison.

Harrison, who was then serving as Anthony Wayne’s aide-de-camp, signed the Treaty of Greenville, ending the Northwest Indian War, on August 3. The provisions of the treaty, which involved ten Native American tribes, included the turning over of certain lands (large parts of Ohio and the site of present-day Chicago among them) to the United States and delineated an “official”—but often ignored—boundary between American and Indian holdings. In fine condition, with light, unobtrusive intersecting folds and a bit of mild soiling. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
