  • first
Philadelphia, 1796. First edition. 5pp. 8vo. Single large sheet printed and folded with top edges remaining uncut. Light staining. Fowler has petitioned for his 1763 claim from King George for 10,000 acres in the territory north west of the Ohio to come to fruition. Fowler had supposedly been a military officer and was given a right in any of the then British provinces, on the continent of North America. The committee seems to be hemming & hawing and they state that Fowler has not seemingly tried to obtain lands, nor is there proof that he was indeed a reduced officer. Seems the Committee is placing Fowler in a paperwork catch-22 as he probably could not obtain land without their say so. Evans 31399 Rare.
