Hmm, May 6th 1777, Washington is in Morristown to sit out the winter months where he set up camp for his troops since Jan 1777. He is coming off some historic victories over the British and is in the process of re organizing his troops for yet another few long months of fighting.

Oh, its the autograph you were inquiring about, well enough said but thanks for the good laugh.
