The copy of the Declaration of Independence shown in the earlier post is the one given to Gen. Geo. Washington. It is held in trust for the people of the United States by the Library of Congress. John Hancock sent handwritten instructions that it be read to the troops.

From LOC website:
This is the only surviving fragment of the broadside of the Declaration of Independence printed by John Dunlap and sent on July 6, 1776, to George Washington by John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. General Washington had this Declaration read to his assembled troops on July 9 in New York, where they awaited the combined British fleet and army. Later that night, American troops destroyed a bronze-lead statue of Great Britain’s King George III that stood at the foot of Broadway on the Bowling Green. The statue was later molded into bullets for the American Army.
