The joint cojnmittee was made up of Ralph Izard o f South Carolina and Wil- iia^n S. Johnson of Connecticut, from the Senate; Elias Boudinot of New Jersey, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, and Peter Sylvester of New York, from the-House. Washington complied with the request and on October 3, 1789, issued his proclamation, colling fojr a National day act Thanksgiv- * on Thursday-,. 'Nov. ,3 .6. d then the document dropped „. _ .o f sight It apparently was misplaced or attached to some private papers in the process of moying official records from one ci^y to- another when the Capital was changed. However, it hap pened, the original manuscript was not in the official archives until 1921 when Dr. J. C. Fitzpat- Vick, then Assistant Chief of the Manuscripts Division of the Li brary o f Congress, and now Edit or of the forthcoming George Washington Bicentennial Com mission series o f Washington's Writings, \found\ the proclama tion. It was at an auction sale being held in the American Art Galleries of New York City. Dr. Fitzpatrick, an expert in Wash- in gtonia, examined the document and found it to be authentic It was written in long hand by Wm. Jackson, Secretary to President Washington at the time, and was signed in George Washington's bold hand. Dr. Fitzpatrick pur chased the document for $300.00 for thp»\ Library of Congress, where it ia how kept as a treas ure. And no amount of money could remove it. The original Proclamation of Thanksgiving, and, indeed, the first Presidential proclamation ev er issued in the United States, reads as follows: \By the President of the Unit ed States «f America. ••Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the pravl- e4-r-for the cMl and religious. | liberty with^whleh we. are blessed and. the Jueans * we hate uf -acijuir: in'g and diffusing useful knowl edge; .and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. \And also that.we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers - afid supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and_ beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to per form our several and relative du ties properly_and_^piinctnally: Tender our national government • blessing to all the People by con stantly being a Government o f wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully ex ecuted and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown Jdndness.to us) and to- bless them with good,Government, peace; and concord/ .T» promote the _knowl edge and practice of true -religion, and virtue, and ithe- .increase of science amsng them and us— and generally to grant .unto all man kind 'such s degree of temporal prosperity as he alone karwa ta ke beat. \Given under my hand at the City ef :.Neir York the third day o f October'la the year o f our Lord (Sighed) George Waafciaj^a-f/i Celebration o f Thanksgiving Day in America can be -traced back to the earliest days o f the Massachusetts Bay Colony. From there the custom spread to all parts of the United States. A room in which furniture is placed parallel or at right angles to the wall appears more restful than one in which rugs and fur niture are st on diagonal lines.
