Former governor of Virginia (1754–1797) who served as the state’s eighth governor. ALS, one page, 7.75 x 9.5, May 14, 1785. Letter to attorney Thomas Miller. In part: “I am well advised I can support such proceeding in the Superior Court whatever may be the opinion of the County Court. The earlier the Business is begun the better as I suppose this claim will be disputed with more warmth than the former one. Mr. Dandridge’s death rendered it impossible for me to procure his answer.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, two through single letters of signature, scattered toning and foxing, and haloing to some of the text. RRAuction COA.
