Notes
Signed in print by Elisha C. Dick, William McWhir, Samuel Hanson ["of Sam."], Bushrod Washington, and Charles Lee, soliciting "patronage and support" for the Society. Sheet lacks printer credit; only known copy is held by the Library Company of Philadelphia and has the salutation blank completed in manuscript with date of June 6, 1790. The one press then operating in Alexandria was that of Hanson & Bond; the Samuel Hanson signing this letter was not the one conducting that press, but rather a distant relative.
