1800 "Timothy Pickering" Autograph Letter Signed
TIMOTHY PICKERING (1745-1829). American Revolution Aide to General George Washington, Adjutant General, then Quartermaster General of the Continental Army; U.S. Postmaster General, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State under President's George Washington and John Adams.
March 20, 1800-Dated Federal Period, Autograph Letter Signed, "Timothy Pickering", measuring 8" x 9.75", 1 page, Philadelphia, Choice Very Fine. Pickering writes this boldly written historic content Letter to George Simpson (Cashier of the Bank of the United States, Philadelphia). It reads, in full:
"Sir -- The Bearer, Brittain White, has been two years a clerk in my office. Unwilling to accompany it to the City of Washington he has desired me to give him a certificate of his conduct, which may be of use in his intended application for a place in the Bank of the United States. Mr. White has shewn himself diligent and faithful, writes a good hand expeditiously, and if correct in figures (which from having served an apprenticeship with a merchant I should suppose) will be very competent to a clerkship in the bank. In my office his only duty has been that of a copying clerk. You will also find him a quiet, modest young man. I believe him perfectly trust-worthy. - I am, Sir, - Your most obt. Servt. -- (Signed) Timothy Pickering"
After Congress adjourned its last meeting in Philadelphia on May 15th, 1800, John Adams told his Cabinet to make sure Congress and all federal offices were up and running smoothly in their new headquarters - in Washington, D.C. by June 15, 1800 when Philadelphia officially ceased to serve as the nation's capital as of June 11, 1800. A wonderful fresh and clean letter with a choice signature and excellent eye appeal for display.
