ADS signed "Alex. Hamilton," one page, 7 x 2.75, September 26, 1787. Handwritten receipt by Hamilton, penned the week after he signed the United States Constitution at Independence Hall. In full: "Sept. 26, 1787, rec'd of Balthazer DeHaert twenty seven pounds on account for General Schuyler." Beautifully archivally mounted, matted, and framed with an engraved plaque to an overall size of 14.5 x 11. In fine condition, with a very light crease passing through the paraph.
In 1787, Alexander Hamilton was serving in the New York State Legislature and was chosen as a delegate for the Constitutional Convention by his father-in-law Philip Schuyler. Rather than revising the existing Articles of Confederation, Hamilton advocated for the creation of a new government with a fresh start. The convention, which was held in Philadelphia from May 25 to September 17, 1787, resulted in the creation of the United States Constitution—one of the definitive moments in American history. This document, by which Hamilton receives funds on Schuyler's behalf, dates to just nine days after the signing of the Constitution. A remarkable autograph from a momentous period in the history of the United States.
