Manuscripts
Document signed. Instructions to George Washington as General and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, drafted by the committee that created Washington's commission on 1775 June 19 (John Adams, Richard Henry Lee, and Edward Rutledge) with added resolutions passed by Congress on June 22 in response to queries of Washington's. Document endorsed by George Washington as "Instructions from Congress 22d June 1775" (no signature) and had been folded, so is most likely the recipient's copy. Text is primarily in the hand of Secretary Charles Thomson, with some in hand of President John Hancock; document signed by both Hancock (twice) and Thomson. (2 pages)
