Description

Signer of the Declaration of Independence and a US representative from New York (1734-1821). Scarce, boldly penned ALS signed “Wm. Floyd,” one page, 6.5 x 8, September 29, 1791. Letter to Gerard Bancker, in part: "I rec'd yours of the 4th Instant, and have endeavoured to recollect something of the transaction you mention, but cannot recollect the least circumstance concerning it. There can be no doubt of…auditing the account as it appears on his books, and the probability is that it has been paid, tho I do not remember, either his auditing or my receiving the money—I think if it was paid you will find my rec't among your papers of that time." In fine condition, with some toning and seal-related paper loss to the integral address leaf (which is detached but present). Accompanied by an engraved portrait bearing a facsimile signature.
