American soldier and statesman (1739–1812) who served as governor of New York and vice president in the Jefferson and Madison administrations. Manuscript DS, signed, “Geo. Clinton,” on an off-white 7.25 x 2.75 slip clipped from the close of a document, affixed to a 7.75 x 4.25 slip, dated March 16, 1802. Pertaining to a legislative decision, Clinton writes, in full: “The agreements made as aforesaid are with a proviso that they are not to be deemed definitive till the legislature make provisions for their execution.” In very good condition, with light toning to the edges, and show-through from writing and mounting adhesive on the reverse, none of which detract from the elegant signature.
