Title: Manuscript resolutions of Congress concerning Revolutionary War financing, signed by Charles Thompson as Secretary of Congress Author: Thompson, Charles Place: [Philadelphia] Publisher: Date: Feb. 20, 1782 Description: 3½ pp. on 4-page conjugate, docketed on the lower portion of the 4th page. 12¾x7¾. Highly significant document recording resolutions of the Continental Congress regarding the financing of the Revolutionary War, "....Whereas it is become indispensably necessary to settle and adjust and finally to determine the proportions to be borne by the several States of the Expenses of the War from the Commencement thereof until the first day of January 1782 except the monies loaned..." A commissioner from each state was to be appointed (with a salary of $1500 per year), and they were to meet to make recommendations on the financing, which would be communicated to the states, a clumsy and non-binding arrangement, indicative of the weakness of the central government under the Articles of Confederacy, which were to give way to the Constitution five years hence. Lot Amendments Condition: Minor aging, some rubbing along the folds, very good. Item number: 202638
