Signed in type by Governor Hancock ["John Hancock"], and in manuscript by John Avery Junior, Secretary and dated January 6, 1789. A Very Good, very scarce example of the Massachusetts procedures for electing representatives to the First Congress.
Beneath Hancock's and Avery's signatures is a printed certification to the Selectmen of Sherburne in the District of Middlesex, completed in manuscript, "that the returns from the several towns within the district of Middlesex. . . have been examined agreeably to the resolution of the General Court, passed the twentieth of November 1788, by which it appears, that The Hon. Nathaniel Gorham & Elbridge Gerry Esqr. have had the greatest number of votes in the returns from the said district, in which no person has been chosen. Signed in type by Hancock, and in manuscript by Avery."
