- Lot Description
Autograph letter signed by Samuel Osgood to W. Wilson. New York, New York, 24 December 1802. 1 page, 4to. With integral free franked address panel with New York cancel. Docketed and retains remnants of original wax seal.
Samuel Osgood (1747-1813) was an American merchant, politician, and statesman in the Revolutionary era. He served in the Massachusetts and New York legislatures, represented Massachusetts in the Continental Congress, and served as the fourth Postmaster General of the United States during President Washington's first term.
He also fought in the Revolution. He led a company of minutemen into the Battle of Lexington and Concord and joined the Siege of Boston. He was promoted to Major of a brigade, became an aide to General Artemas Ward, and promoted again to Colonel. Returning to politics in 1776, he was named to the Massachusetts Board of War to assist in the organization of the Revolution.
In this letter, he details the tax returns on two plots of land assessed to Robert R. Livingston and requests more information.
