This historically important offering is from the Taylor Family sale auctioned and cataloged by Stack’s:
“The first item in this lot is a July 29, 1815 letter from Secretary of the Treasury A(lexander) J(ames) Dallas to the cashier of the Branch Bank Pittsburg on procedures for redeeming Treasury Notes and when the interest ceases on these notes. This letter has been backed.
There are also five 1815 issues of the four-page Weekly Messenger of Boston, and all have reportings of financial and government news. The March 17 issue finds an open letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, A.J. Dallas, to the Committee of Ways and Means discussing revenue and expenses. Several steps in regards to Treasury Notes are mentioned near the end of the article.
Another item in this lot is a stampless advertising postal cover for F.E. Hassler of Washington City, DC. The imprint of the verso states that Mr. Hassler will file Revolutionary, War of 1812, Florida and Mexican War pension claims for widows. The eighth item is a remittance letter of November 10, 1814 from Boston to a paymaster in New Hampshire stating that enclosed are “120 $100 and 400 $20 Treasury Notes.” Finally, there is an unissued check from the 1810s.
These items bring this period in our nation’s history much closer to the Twenty-first Century collector of these early Nineteenth Century financial instruments.”
