The 3 of Diamonds coordinate

It is not a prediction about the Declaration and not a verdict on Josiah Bartlett. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You keep more than one path alive without letting any of them stay imaginary.

Josiah Bartlett in the public record

November 21, 1729] – May 19, 1795) was an American Founding Father, physician, statesman, a delegate to the Continental Congress for New Hampshire, and a signatory to the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation. He was a member of the convention which framed the Constitution of the United States in 1787. He served as the fourth governor of New Hampshire and chief justice of the New Hampshire Superior Court of Judicature, now the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Bartlett practiced medicine over 40 years. During that time, he promoted wellness practices, including diet, exercise, fresh air, and a contented mind. He fostered using messages from one's body to improve one's health, like drinking when thirsty and covering up when sick with chills. He managed an outbreak of throat distemper, or diphtheria, with Peruvian bark, also known as quinine, with much greater success than traditional treatments. When he was very sick himself, he took cold cider, versus a warm drink, at intervals to break a fever.
