George Washington's Wartime Letters to Congress

Item Details

Description

Heading: (Washington, George)
Author: Washington, George
Title: Official Letters...American Congress...by...George Washington, Commander in Chief of the Continental Forces...
Place Published: New York
Publisher:Samuel Campbell
Date Published: 1796
Description:

Originally published in Boston in 1795 (Howes W142).

Condition

Touches of wear and scuffing to spines and corners of boards; foxing and toning throughout volumes, particularly volume II; very good to near fine.
