Signed as president and again as trustee on verso by MOSES TAYLOR (1806 - 1882); Banker; Capitalist. A shaky, though ultimately successful business in the import business lead Taylor to become involved with Cyrus Field in the latter's Atlantic Cable venture. Taylor served as the company's treasure throughout its period of failure and near-collapse, until the company finally proved successful. He later was involved in many banking activities and became known for holding large cash reserves. Taylor's signature is dark and fresh. Very fine condition. Uncancelled.
