Printed copy of Washington's farewell address in Claypoole's Advertiser. Washington has added manuscript notes to his copyist for copying: "The letter contained in this Gazette addressed to the People of the United States is to be Recorded -- and in the order of its da[te.] [Pointing hand] Let it have a blank page before & after so as to stand distinct as it were. -- Let it be wrote with a letter larger & fully [sic] than the common recording hand -- and where words are printed with capital letters it is to be done so in Recording this letter -- and where other words that are printed in Italicks, must [be ruled] underneath and streight by a Ruler[.]"
