American statesman (1752–1816) and signer of the Constitution from Pennsylvania who authored several sections of that document, including the well-known Preamble. He later served as American minister to France (during much of that country’s Revolution) and US senator. Full hand-addressed free frank, measuring 9.25 x 7.75 unfolded, with panel measuring 5.5 x 3.75, addressed in Morris’s hand to “Messrs Howe & Harrison Merchts., Alexandria,” and franked in the upper right, “Gouv Morris.” Docketing to lower panel dates it to May 20, 1779. In very good condition, with a central vertical fold, light scattered toning and soiling, and moderate damp staining throughout, slightly affecting the beginning of the signature.
