May 12, 1782, Revolutionary War Era, Connecticut Manuscript Document, Paid in 790 Continental Dollars, Choice Very Fine.
This is an original Connecticut certificate of receipt, measuring 2.25" x 8" which reads, in full: "I do certify that on the 12th of May 1782 I recvd of Mary Withy the sum of Seven Hundred and Ninety Continental Dollars in Part of Isaac Edwards Class fines and Poundage for the year 1780 - Fred'k Engle." This piece is docketed on the back: "Isaac Edwards Acct." This document is written on laid paper, with partial "Crown" watermark. A nice item showing a rather large payment having being paid and accepted in Continental Currency!
