Excerpt from George Washington’s
Second Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1795
"... The happy course of our public affairs in general, the unexampled prosperity of all classes of our citizens, are circumstances which peculiarly mark our situations with indications of the Divine beneficence toward us; In such state of things it is an especial manner of duty as a people with devout reverence and affectionate gratitude, to acknowledge our many and great obligations to Almighty God and to implore him to continue and confirm the blessings we experience."
