Two early documents relating to the state of Vermont: a manuscript document, four pages on two sheets, 8.25 x 13.5, no date but circa 1780s, concerning the Confederation Congress's "act of the 20th day of Aug't last…'That it be an indispensible preliminary to the recognition of the independence of the people inhabiting the territory called Vermont, & their admission into the federal union that they explicitly relinquish all demands of lands or jurisdiction on the east side of the west bank of Connecticut river, & on the west side of a line beginning at the Northwest corner of the state of Massachusetts, thence running twenty miles east of Hudson's river'…Resolved that a Com'r be immediately appointed by the United States in Congress Assembled, and vested with the full powers to repair to the district aforesaid, and there in the name & on behalf of these United States to offer the following terms to the inhabitants of said district," going on to outline the terms for admission into the United States; and a manuscript document, one page both sides, 7.75 x 9.75, November 4, 1807, proposing an amendment to "empower the President of the United States to remove any of the judges of the Courts of the United States upon address to him made for that purpose by a majority of the House of Representatives and two thirds of the Senators in Congress assembled." In good to very good condition, with splitting, chipping, and separations to the fragile paper.
