Sobre este artículo
[N.p., but possibly New York Cit, 1733. [1]p. plus integral address leaf. Folio, on a folded sheet. Light soiling and wear. Very good. Rip Van Dam, New York merchant and briefly colonial governor, complains of his ill health and details financial transactions in this letter to Col. Richard Floyd. Floyd (1661-1737) was the son of the founder of Setauket, New York, and this letter is addressed to him there. He served as sheriff of Suffolk County in 1708-09 and was the grandfather of William Floyd, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Rip van Dam (ca. 1660-1749) was a Manhattan merchant and politician, serving as the acting governor of the Province of New York from 1731 to 1732. He quarreled with the incoming governor, William Cosby, and published several articles against the governor, leading to his implication in the Zenger trial. The top third of the sheet contains a brief accounting of the financial business between the two men, while the remainder of the sheet is comprised of Van Dam's letter, which mostly details his struggle with gout. Interestingly, part of the balance due him was paid in rum
