ISAAC LOW
(1735 - 1791) American Revolution merchant and politician from New York, the first to sign the Articles of Association (Apr. 29, 1775) when he gave an impassioned speech against the King and Parliament. Low was a delegate to the first Continental Congress, yet was against independence. Arrested for treason in 1776, he was protected in New York by Carleton until he fled to England at War's end, losing all of his properties here. Rare A.L.S., 1p. 4to., New York, June 3, 1769 discussing a note due him: "…I take the Liberty of troubling you with the said Bill, and I beg the Favor of you to take the first opportunity of presenting it to him for Payment, and to let me know his answer…Your Bills of Lading for your Hog[shea]d of Furs are not yet signed…". Fine.
