Description

Twice-signed document from a Rhode Island Signer

Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island (1707–1785) and a delegate to the Continental Congress. Partly-printed DS, signed twice “F. Hopkinson,” one page, 8.25 x 8, July 10, 1780. Two conjoined thirty dollar payments issued to John Cady, payable “in One Hundred and Fifty Livres Tournois, for interest due on Money borrowed by the United States,” each signed at the conclusion by Hopkinson as Treasurer of Loans. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of each signature, scattered toning, mild edge wear, a couple small spots of ink erosion, and some light creasing and wrinkling. Both of Hopkins’s signatures are quite bold and prevalent. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
