Partly printed document signed by Tench Coxe, as Commissioner of the Revenue, to William Webb. Treasury Department, 19 April 1795. 1 page, 4to. With integral free franked address panel signed by Coxe and "Free" stamp with dated cancel.
Tench Coxe (1755-1824) was a political economist and Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress who wrote prolifically under the pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Revolutionary period. He served as the 1st Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Alexander Hamilton during Washington's presidency.
In 1792, he was appointed Commissioner of Revenue, and it is in this role that he issued this circular, requesting "specific knowledge of the course of our foreign trade in its latest stages...you will therefore be pleased to complete and transmit as early as possible, the return of exports from your district to the 31st of March 1795."
A fine early Treasury document.

Fleischer's Auctions packages and ships most items in-house. We make an effort to ensure the lowest shipping rate possible while still meeting our package safety standards.
Large items, framed pieces, and any item that we are unable to package and ship in-house will be marked in the catalog as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service. Successful bidders winning items marked as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service are responsible for paying the third party directly. We are happy to offer complimentary drop-off service to local third-party packing/shipping companies in Columbus, Ohio. Once an item is dropped off and no longer in our possession, Fleischer's Auctions is not liable for the item's safe handling or shipment to the successful bidder.
