Autograph letter signed
Title: [Address leaf to Abraham Ten Broeck]
Address leaf for a letter written to Brigadier General Ten Broeck, commander of the Albany County militiamen throughout the Revolutionary War. Sender sent the letter "On public Service," and appears to be with the "Office of the Secretary of the State." Signature appears to be "Rd Morris," but needs to be confirmed. A vocal patriot before the war, Ten Broeck's service during the war was laudatory. He became a New York state senator and Mayor of Albany after the war.
