Item Details

Description

American Revolution
Governor John Hancock Receipt In American Revolution
(JOHN HANCOCK) (1737-1793). Prominent Merchant, Patriot of the American Revolution, served as President of the Second Continental Congress and was both the First & Third Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Remembered for his large and stylish First Signature on the United States Declaration of Independence, so much so that the term "John Hancock" became, in the United States, a synonym for “signature”.

11th - 1783 (No month)-Dated American Revolutionary War, Manuscript Document Signed, "Silas Hussey," 1 page, measuring approximately 3” x 6.75” (84 x 180 mm), at Boston, Very Fine. An original Handwritten Receipt boldly penned upon clean period laid paper. It reads, in Full:

"Boston 11th. - 1783 -- Rec. of John Hancock Esqr. Twenty One Shillings Lawful Money for three Groos (Gross) Corks Delivered By Joseph Hussey some years ago -- Silas Hussey." Docketed upon its verso: "Governor Hancock's Bill" (and apparently paid as noted) “Sylvanus Hussey Rect. 1783.”

There is one light vertical fold, torn at bottom margin, old tape used for a prior mounting display along the outer margins where now toned, overall the text portions are in very nice condition. A stated and direct tie to the historic John Hancock.
