Signer of the Declaration of Independence and a U.S. representative from New York (1734–1821). Scarce ink signature, "Wm. Floyd,” on an off-white 4 x .75 slip, which is affixed to a manuscript letter from his grandson by his first marriage, William Floyd, one page, 7.25 x 5 sheet, March 11, 1876, addressed to Dr. G. W. Vamin, who had requested a letter or document bearing his grandfather's signature. The grandson tells the doctor that the past 50 years have exhausted his supply and that this is all he has left, noting that the doctor's request is the third he has received today. This was the Centennial Year and the Revolution and the Declaration of Independence were receiving a lot of attention. In very good to fine condition.
