Philp, headed 'Forty-fifth Congress of the United States, at the second Session, Begun and held at the City of Washington [...] on Monday, the Third day of December, eighteen hundred and seventy-seven. Joint Resolution extending the thanks of Congress to Henry M. Stanley', and signed 'Approved, February 7, 1878. R.B. Hayes [President of the United States] Sam J.

Philp, Penman, Washington, D.C February 1886', the leaf 377 x 530mm (laid down on card, some staining and marking). An important document from the US Congress, recognising Stanleys achievements.
