Descripción del artículo del vendedor

SAMUEL HUNTINGTON (1731-1796). Samuel Huntington signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. He also served as President of the Continental Congress from 1779 to 1781 and chief justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court from 1784 to 1785. He was the governor of Connecticut from 1786 and the first United States governor to have died while in office.ALS. 1pg. November 3, 1788. Norwich, Connecticut. An autograph letter signed Saml.

I wish to be Inform'd as soon as may be whether you have them in print, not bound & can supply me with Thirteen sets of them. I am Sir your humble s Saml. Huntington.

Huntington is requesting thirteen printed, unbound sets of all Connecticut state statutes passed since the legislative revision of January 1784 for this comprehensive legal repository.
