Step into history on April 3 with a close look at a rare document from the Delaware Historical Society’s collections: George Read II’s 1789 commission as the first U.S. Attorney for the district of Delaware, personally signed by George Washington. Washington appointed Read to the position, and this document is important to understanding Read’s legal career. The commission document was donated to Delaware Historical Society by Anne Cooch Doran and Judge Richard R. Cooch.
