Signer of the Declaration of Independence from New York (1716–1778). LS signed “Phil. Livingston,” one page, 7.5 x 9.25, August 14, 1761. Letter to attorney Richard Law. 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." Reverse of second integral page bears an address in Livingston’s hand, along with docketing notations in unknown hands, one apparently taken from the diary of John Adas. It reads, “Del.to Cont. Cong 1774–8. Phil. Livingston is a great rough rapid mortal. There is no holding any conversation with him etc. J. Adams Wash. 351 Diary.” Letter has been professionally silked. Aforementioned silking, scattered spots of light toning, and repaired paper loss to second page from wax seal, otherwise fine condition.
