Description

Handwritten letter by the signer of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and Constitution

Important financier (1734-1806) who signed the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and Constitution. ALS signed “Rob't Morris,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.25 x 9, September 13, 1790. Handwritten letter to Messrs. Robert Gilmer & Co. of Baltimore, in part: "I am to acknowledge the receipt of your letters of the 3d of the last & 9th of the present month, the former was received by me whilst at New York and when deeply engaged in public business with a prospect of a speedy termination of the Session of Congress, this induced me to postpone a reply…numerous engagements have occupied my attention." He goes on to discuss the payment of a debt owed. Gorgeously cloth-matted and framed with a portrait and biographical caption to an overall size of 34 x 24.5, with a window in the backing for viewing the opposing side. In very good to fine condition, with ink erosion affecting multiple words of text, but not adversely affecting the bold signature.
