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.
