Signer of the Declaration of Independence, and founder and president of the Bank of Philadelphia (1739–1813). ADS, signed “Geo. Clymer,” one page, 8 x 3.25, July 6, 1802. Handwritten promissory note by which Clymer agrees “to pay to Samuel Meredith…fourteen hundred and forty dollars” within 60 days. Signed at the conclusion by both Clymer and Meredith. In fine condition, with numerous but unobtrusive cancellation cuts and a few tiny stains. After serving as a delegate for Pennsylvania to the Continental Congress, President Washington appointed Meredith Treasurer of the United States, a position that he held until the close of 1801. An interesting note connecting two notable early American figures. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
