Document appears to bear four different hands, all clear and legible. Single medium-sized sheet is in good condition, but there is heavy creasing and some discoloration along creases. Dark-brown. Occom makes note of attending the Assembly in a letter to his son Benoni, manuscript 791117. As noted next to the signature of John McKesson, the document is a copy. The words “HAVERMEYER COLLECTION.” are typed on the bottom of one verso. There are three different signatures; given that this document is a copy, it's possible that some or all of the signatures are not in the hands of the signers.
