EVENING POST, N.Y., Sept. 4, 1833.
* Constitutional Convention
* James Madison last survivor
* 19th century original reading
A page 3 report contains an interesting bit of trivia:
* "By the death of Judge Egbert Benson, of New York, James Madison is left the only surviving member of the first American Congress in 1781; as he is also the last survivor of the Convention which formed the Federal Constitution."
Other news of the day with several ads.
Second leaf has an archival mend to a tear in unrelated content, some lite foxing in the margins, otherwise good.
