Major general in the Continental Army (1733-1810) during the American Revolutionary War, known as the officer who formally accepted the British surrender at Yorktown. Partly-printed DS, signed “B. Lincoln Con,” one page, 9.5 x 5.25, July 6, 1802. As Collector of the port of Boston and Charlestown, Lincoln signs to attest that “one Chert of Green Tea, numbered and marked as per margin, containing Sixty three pounds” was imported by the Eliza Odelle of Canton. Countersigned by Massachusetts Patriot Thomas Melvill, who had been an active participant in the Boston Tea Party nearly three decades earlier. In fine condition, with one small bit of ink erosion, not affecting the overall appearance. An attractive document with interesting Revolutionary association.
