Description
This is a Francis Elias Spinner, Secretary of the Treasury Handwritten & Signed Letter. This letter reads, “Your kind note, with tickets Nos. 33 + 38, to attend the concert of the choral society, on Saturday evening last, lies before me. I found it impossible to attend. Please accept my thanks for your kindness, and me to be. Very truly your friend, FE Spinner”. Spinner was born in German Flats, New York. He worked in banking, then entered politics as a dpeuty sheriff. In 1834 he became a major-general in the New York state militia; from 1845 to 1849 he was auditor of the Port of New York. From 1855 to 1861 Spinner served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, and was appointed as Treasurer of the United States in 1861, a post he resigned in 1875. His signature is iconic, and especially so in the field of paper money collecting. Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices.
