SIMEON HOWARD (1733-1804) American preacher, overseer and a fellow of Harvard, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Society for Propagating the Gospel. Partly Printed Document Signed, “Simeon Howard Treasr.” Boston 1791. One page, 7” x 6” The document reads, in part: “Received of Nathaniel Appleton, Commissioner of Loan in the Sate of Massachusetts for interest on Stock in the funds of the United States to the 30th of September 1791 ... Amounting to Eleven Dollars Eighty Five cents ... “ This documentation of interest payments on “stock” in the Funds of the United States provides a interesting glimpse into the financial working of the young American nation following the Revolutionary War. Slight toning to edges, not affecting Howard’s bold signature. Else Very Fine.
