Franklin" with flourish) as President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, [Philadelphia], 29 April 1787. 1 page, 340 x 397 mm., ON FINE PARCHMENT, remains of seal at top left corner, bold heading, text in a neat clerical hand, countersigned by James Trimble, docketed on verso. Light stains at top and bottom right corners, otherwise in good condition. An attractive example of a land grant certified by Pennsylvania's governor, with a fine, large signature.
