Petition seeking a State-Chartered Bank at Dumfries.

• imprint_number: 1816.143
• title: To the honorable the Speaker and House of Delegates ... petition ... inhabitants of ... Dumfries ...
• sequence_number: 143
• year: 1816

  Sheet lacks colophon; only known copy, held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia, is dated in manuscript on November 16, 1816, the date it was received by the House; context suggests an origin in either Alexandria or Fredericksburg, but lacking any further evidence, an attribution is impracticable, so the indeterminacy here.
