Item Details

Description

Biddle Clement
Clement Biddle ALS Regarding Bank of Columbia and Local Coffeehouse Business

1p ALS inscribed overall and signed by Revolutionary War veteran and "Quaker Soldier" Clement Biddle (1740-1814) as "Clement Biddle" in the lower right corner. In very good to near fine condition, with expected paper folds and overall even toning. A few isolated repairs throughout. The bifold pages include an integral address leaf bearing handwritten and stamped philatelic markings, a partial wax seal, and docket notations. The whole letter is inlaid into a cream sheet. The letter measures 8" x 9.875". From the Collection of Norman Boas of Seaport Autographs and recently purchased at Christie's December 5, 2017 sale.

Clement Biddle penned this letter to a Bank of Columbia cashier on October 29, 1802 from Philadelphia. (All excerpts have untouched grammar and spelling mistakes.) "I write this in town I inclose Check on the branch bank at Balte for 8000$ and of Mr. Stodderts but no Comn charged. Please to inform Mr. M? that I have made no further sale of 6?, - the fever has been troublesome", Biddle wrote. The successful merchant, notary, and scrivener split his time between Philadelphia and the "Country", adding: "About the Coffeehouse in my neighbourhood I check business … "

Clement Biddle, although a practicing Quaker, fought in the Revolutionary War Battles of Princeton, Germantown, Brandywine, and Monmouth before resigning from the Continental Army in 1780. A close friend of General George Washington's, Biddle also acted as Commissary General at Valley Forge and U.S. Marshal for Pennsylvania just before the Whiskey Rebellion.
