Details:

Joseph Reed autographed clipped section of a larger handwritten document, retaining portions of the original manuscript text on both sides. Reed has boldly autographed the fragment "Jos. Reed" at the conclusion. A desirable example of the autograph of the prominent Pennsylvania Founding Father, Revolutionary War statesman, and close associate of George Washington.

The document measures approximately 3 x 5.75". Fine condition with expected age toning, irregular edges from removal from the original document, scattered light staining, and handling wear.

Joseph Reed (1741-1785) was an American Founding Father, Revolutionary War statesman, attorney, and military officer. He served as secretary and aide-de-camp to General George Washington during the early years of the American Revolution and later held the rank of colonel and adjutant general of the Continental Army. Reed served in the Continental Congress and as President of Pennsylvania's Supreme Executive Council from 1778 to 1781, effectively serving as the Commonwealth's chief executive during a critical period of the Revolution.
