On July 19th, Congress ordered that the Declaration be engrossed on parchment. Congress ordered a new title, “the unanimous declaration of the thirteen united states of America,” that accurately reflected the fact that all the States were in support of the Declaration. The Congress also ordered “that the same, when engrossed, be signed by every member of Congress.” Engrossing is the process of copying an official document in a large hand. The engrosser of the Declaration was probably Timothy Matlock, an assistant to Charles Thomson, secretary to the Congress.
