PHILIP LIVINGSTON
(1716 - 1778) American merchant and signer of the Declaration of Independence, one of the founders of Columbia University. Manuscript L.S. 'Phil. Livingston' with holograph subscription and integral address leaf, 1p. 4to., New York, Aug. 11, 1761 to attorney Richard Law thanking him for obtaining payment for a note. In part: '...I am glad to be Informed that you have Secured the Money for My Note of Simson & Wight, and Altho it will be Some time before it Can be Recovered yet As I am to Have Interest I shall Rest Satisfied till it Can be gott...' In addition, he sends two bills for outstanding payments and asks that Law 'Recover the Money for me In the Speediest Manner you Can, & Rather than waite I will take Lawfull Money...' Expertly silked on all pages. A few spots show through, else boldly penned and fine.
