Alexander Hamilton A GROUP OF FRAGMENTS OF EIGHT MISCELLANEOUS AUTOGRAPH LEGAL DOCUMENTS Autograph note with signature in text (“Genl’l Hamilton”), n.p., n.d. [but ca. 1791], praising his friend, fellow attorney Egbert Benson; burn holes at center costing text, silked. Benson was instrumental in negotiating the land claim which New York had made to Vermont—a congressionally mandated prerequisite for Vermont joining the Union as a state of its own, rather than being divided between New York and New Hampshire. — Autograph fragment of a document, n.p., n.d. [but probably after 14 January 1784], two pages on a bifolium, being a legal opinion on the incompatibility of the Confiscation Act with the Treaty of Peace of 1783. — Autograph note (seven points) on one sheet with legal citation on verso, n.p., n.d. — Autograph fragment, n.p., n.d., one page, regarding an agreement for payment between “S.D.” and “S.C.” — Autograph fragment of a brief, n.p., n.d., 2 pages one sheet, involving David and James Reynolds in a dispute over land ownership — Autograph fragment of a document, docketed “Opinion to Mr. Cazenove,” two pages, n.p. [probably New York], 16 April 1796, two pages; top margin of blank second leaf cut away. Théophile Cazenove was an agent for the Holland Land Company who worked closely with Hamilton. — Autograph fragment of a document, docketed “ Plea for Thompson,” n.p., n.d. [after 1783], 3 pages on a bifolium; some browning and staining, ink faded, marginal repairs to second leaf. — Autograph fragment of a document, n.p., n.d. [ca. April 1782?] four pages (two leaves hinged together), regarding the taxation of land; ink faded on second leaf. The document possibly refers to Hamilton's appointment by Robert Morris (15 April 1782) as receiver of Continental taxes.
