Business magnate and merchant (1763–1848) who became the first multi-millionaire in the United States. LS, one page, 8 x 10, September 23, 1837. Letter to Harry Chester of the London-based group of the Ornithological Society. In part: “I…am particularly gratified by the compliment paid me by the very respectable Society of which you are Secretary. Please tender to the gentlemen whom you represent and accept for yourself especially my grateful acknowledgement of the honor done me. It will always give me pleasure to promote by any opportunity the objects contemplated by the Society.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, wrinkling, and scattered light soiling and staining.
