Together 72 items, 102 pp., various sizes. Housed in three leather albums. Complete inventory of the collection available on our online cataogue or by request. A remarkable of group of men met in secret sessions in Philadelphia, through a long, hot summer, from May-September 1787, to craft the Constitution that still serves as the law of the land in the United States of America, 228 years later. This remarkable collection contains autograph examples of all but one of the delegates, as well as examples from prominent opponents to the Constitution such as Patrick Henry. Highlights include: WASHINGTON, George. DS, 18 October 1787. 1p., oblong. A signed receipt for payment of £20 to James Smith for work for the Potomac Company. Signed by Washington on verso. -- MADISON, James. LS to Samuel Goddard, 11 October 1835. 1p., 4to, inlaid, portion of address panel preserved. Support of Goddard’s temperance work looks forward to the abolition of “ardent spirits” in this eventful and reforming age.” -- FRANKLIN, Benjamin. ADS (“B. Franklin”) 20 July 1786. 1p., 4to.

Concerning “the Convention which I have signed with Lord Hawkesbury concerning the 6. & 7. articles of the Treaty of 1794…” Twenty-nine of the 55 delegates served in the Revolutionary War, so it is not surprising that several examples in the collection reach back to that period: CARROLL, Daniel. ALS to Matthew Tilghman, Philadelphia, 24 April 1781. 1p., folio, laid down, tape remnants, folds repaired. Extract of Washington’s latest report to Congress on British troop movements; passing along intelligence from Havana and Pensacola; the capture of Ninety-Six, South Carolina. -- PIERCE, William (1740-1789).
