Description

President Grant requests ‘Foreign Compliance with Treaty Provisions’ regarding legal Canadian fishing grounds

Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 8.5 x 11, July 1, 1873. President Grant directs the Secretary of State to affix the Seal of the United States to “my Proclamation relating to certain Articles of the Treaty of Washington of 8th May 1871 (Fisheries).” Signed at the conclusion by U. S. Grant. In fine condition, with some trivial wear to the right edge.

This document pertains to President Grant’s signing of Proclamation 214, ‘Certifying Foreign Compliance with Treaty Provisions,’ a reflection on an article found within the 1871 Treaty of Washington, which was an accord between the United Kingdom and the United States that settled various disputes between the countries. Proclamation 214 was signed to certify the compliance of foreign countries, Great Britain in this instance, with the lawful use of Canadian fisheries.
