American general in the Revolutionary War and a delegate in the Continental Congress. Sullivan served as a major general in the Continental Army and as governor (or president) of New Hampshire. He is most famous for leading the Sullivan Expedition in 1779, a scorched earth campaign against the Iroquois towns that had taken up arms against the American revolutionaries. ALS signed “Jno. Sullivan,” one page, 7.5 x 9.75, February 2, 1787. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In part: “I send you a copy of the Resolve of the general Court…I beg the favor of you to have it renewed that I have the opp’ty to notify the Def’t to appear…that I may then file a Complaint & have affirmation.” Chips to bottom edge, slightly affecting portions of a couple letters of signature, chips to right edge, intersecting folds, and scattered creasing and toning, otherwise very good condition.
