Description

Dispelling a theory about Constitution signer John Dickinson

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, July 20, 1962. Letter to Paul Lutz. In full: “I was very much interested in your letter of the 17th, about the signature of John Dickinson to the Constitution of the United States. Now if his colleague or friend was authorized to sign for him it is just the same as if he signed it himself and I think all this conversation about his not having signed the Constitution himself is not worth any consideration.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Dickinson was the original author of the Articles of Confederation, although he did not support the independence movement. Interesting association between a former Commander-in-Chief and a Founding Father, who did sign the Constitution. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
