I am not sure where you see the dates, because the year you posted isn’t correct. I don’t see any dates on LOC. I may not be looking in the right place though.

Here is a good quote from the LOC link you provide:

“The war with Britain cut off the supply of Bibles to the United States with the result that on Sept. 11, 1777, Congress instructed its Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 Bibles from “Scotland, Holland or elsewhere.” “

I apologize, I got the year wrong, it is 1777. Scroll down the page and it is 4th or 5th from the bottom titled Atkins Bible with text on the left and image of journal on right. It may have taken a day to put in the journal.
