Published in Kingston, Ulster County (N.Y.) by Samuel Freer and Son. It may well be authentic! Fascinating reading! I welcome correspondence from interested parties! It has a eulogy for George Washington. Yes, the first prez.! Two For Sale items, "A Saw Mill" and "Negro Wench." Plus many other general interest publishings... various other For Sale items, such as "A Neat, Elegant, Well-Finished Pleasure Sleigh" (no price noted.) keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
