George Washington Stipp Western Miscellany 1827. Sold for over $20,000.
Here are some items that our auction house, Nate D. Sanders (http://www.NateDSanders.com), has sold:
Exceptional autograph document signed by George Washington from 1774 regarding bounty land promised to Virginia veterans of the French & Indian War, per the Proclamation of 1754. When distribution of the land stalled after the war, Washington famously took it upon himself to lobby on behalf of the veterans, even hiring a surveyor to divvy up the 20,000 acres himself. He was criticized, however, for reportedly setting aside the best land for himself and his friends, with this invoice revealing his efforts on behalf of his former aide-de-camp, George Mercer, and Mercer’s brother.
Dated 25 January 1774, Washington handwrites at top, ”Col. George Mercer on acct. of the Land under the Proclamation of 1754…” He details meetings beginning in 1770 in Fredericksburg, when Washington was appointed agent for securing the land, writing ”voted at Fredericksburg at this meeting, it being for your own & Brother’s shares…” Washington again writes about advocating for Mercer and his brother at a meeting in March 1771 in Winchester, and then bills for ”Surveying 13532 acres Patented in y’r own name” in November 1772. He also charges for ”y’r prop’n of the cost of Surveying a tract of 6788 ac’s – in w’ch you hold 2816 ac’s.”
Additional charges are listed, along with credits, for a total charge of over 40 pounds. Boldly signed ”Go: Washington” at conclusion. Interestingly, it’s unlikely that Washington ever collected on the bill, as Mercer, a strong loyalist, moved to England before the Revolutionary War. Document is in extraordinarily well-preserved condition, with bold handwriting throughout. Measures 7.625” x 7”. Mounting remnants to verso, otherwise near fine condition. With University Archives COA. Sold for $37,500.
President George Washington Autograph Letter Signed 1790
Handsome George Washington autograph letter signed as President. Single page, folio, dated 20 February 1790, to Thomas Mifflin, signer of the Constitution and Governor of Pennsylvania. In full: âSir, / I have the honor to transmit to your Excellency an Act passed in the second Session of the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States â entitled âan Act for giving effect to the several Acts therein mentioned, in respect to the State of North Carolina, and other purposesâ. I have the honor to be, / With due consideration / Your Excellencyâs / Most Obedient Servt. / G. Washington.â On 21 November 1789, North Carolina became the twelfth state to ratify the Constitution. When Congress assembled at its second session in January, 1790, President Washington called attention in his message to the favorable nature of public affairs and the rising respectability of the United States as a nation. Proof was afforded by the accession of North Carolina to the Union, leaving only Rhode Island yet to ratify the Constitution. The two states plight outside the Union had become so desperate that Congress at its first session consented to relieve the ships of those states for a limited period from the burden of a foreign tonnage duty which amounted to 50 cents per ton for foreign vessels, while domestic vessels paid six cents per ton. This letter discusses the first act passed by the second session of the First Congress in January, 1790, which specified the laying of duties on goods and merchandise imported into the state of North Carolina from any foreign port or place and upon the tonnage of all ships and vessels. The act further created five districts and four official ports of entry for collection of duties. An important early Federalist document. Washingtonâs signature is dark and prominent. In fine condition. Sold for $25,337.

George Washington autograph letter signed, dated 30 January 1799 shortly after Washington served as President. Washington here describes the difficult and costly process of securing patents for land promised to him and other veterans of the French and Indian War. This land was promised via the Proclamation of 1754, issued by then Governor Robert Dinwiddie to encourage Virginia men to enlist in the expedition to take the Ohio from the French. Intriguing letter reads in full,
âGentlemen, It is not in my power to give the satisfaction you require, respecting the partition of the tract of 51,302 acres of land on the Ohio in which the late Mr. Jno. West held 6000. â
My agency in that business ceased, after by great perseverance, & indeed cost (which by many who shared in the land never reimbursed) the original Patents were obtained. I had no concern with individual property, after the quantum was assigned to each; and if I [?] heard, have no recollection nor, of the mode adopted by the Patentees in that Tract to ascertain their respective parts nor do I know where the record of it is to be found. â Col. Tho. Lewis lives on the tract, and is as likely as any one I am acquainted with, to give you information. / I am Gentn â Yr very Hble Servt / Go: Washingtonâ. Single page measures 7.375â x 8.875â.
