- notes: Sheet lacks printer credit; the firm of Dixon & Holt was appointed as public printer in June 1786, and printing such bond forms was required under their contract; the only known copy of this imprint is held by Library Company of Philadelphia (as a part of the Michael Zinman Collection of Early American Imprints) and was completed in manuscript in March 1787, so the dating reported here.
