Original Revolutionary War date Rhode Island Imprint, measures 12.5" x 8" with 16 pages. Well printed, with the upper left corner somewhat chewed, including part of the original paper, with some very minor edge chips and in overall superior condition. These are the minutes of a meeting to discuss State business, attended by Governor Nicholas Cooke, Deputy-Governor William Bradford and other prominent Rhode Islanders. Some of the business has to do with the Revolutionary War, such as the committee established to "inquire into the Grounds and Reasons of the Miscarriage of the late Expedition against the Enemy on Rhode-Island" or a memo of "sundry Articles of Clothing wanted for the Soldiers in Col. Greene's and Col. Angell's Battalions." Some period notes are penned at the top which include, "persons having money in their hands for salt," and "Town Council to appoint persons To Take Care of Soldiers families." A rare, historic original Revolutionary War era imprint.
