‘Financier of the Revolution,’ and one of only two signers of all three of the founding documents—The Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. Founder of the Bank of North America. As a member of the Continental Congress it was Morris who loaned $10,000 of his own funds to provision Washington's Continental army who won the battle of Trenton. Revolutionary war-dated LS signed “Robt Morris,” one page, 7.5 x 9, February 7, 1783. Circular letter, in his capacity as Superintendent of Finance, addressed in the lower left in Morris’s hand, “His Excelly, The President of New Hampshire.” In full: “I do myself the honor to enclose the Copies of certain Acts & Orders of Congress of the twelfth seventeen and eighteenth Instant. I am to entreat that your Excellency will take the earliest Opportunity of submitting them to the Legislature of your State.” Some scattered light soiling and some light mirroring of ink from folding, otherwise fine, clean condition. Accompanied by a nice engraving of Morris.
