Number of Pages:
4
Date:
August 10, 1791
Dickinson President Charles Nisbet discusses in what appears to be a postscript how a farmer in Chambersburg has discovered a great body of iron ore. Nisbet also discusses new treaties with Native American tribes as well as the large number of French citizens arriving in the United States. "The misfortunes of France seem not to be at an End, when the people are leaving the Country," as Nisbet explains. Transcript included.
