Notes
Only surviving copy, held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia, has a manuscript date of December 6, 1806, reflecting the date it was submitted to the Assembly; the petition was rejected that same day, as had become standard practice with private lottery requests. Sheet lacks colophon; while evidently a Norfolk imprint, item does not indicate the particular press issuing this sheet, so the indeterminacy here.
