American soldier and statesman (1739–1812) who served as governor of New York and vice president in the Jefferson and Madison administrations. ALS signed “Geo. Clinton,” one page, 7.25 x 9, April 30, 1798. Letter to Saunders Lansing. In full: “I wrote to you last fall by Mr. Abel French requesting you to exact payment of the balances due to me from Waters and others who purchased the lot from me in Hosick patent. I stand in need of the money, and they ought long since to have paid it. I also requested you to endeavor to obtain security for the money due me from Bouse. The most of it I advanced to relieve him from distress and I do not like to lose it. These papers are in your possession. I have some reasons to suspect that my letter was not delivered to you, which induces me to trouble you with this.” Second integral page bears an address panel and red wax seal remnants. Intersecting folds, a few lightly affecting signature, repair to paper loss along hinge, affecting just a single word of text, and light wrinkling, otherwise fine condition.
