[SIGNERS, DELAWARE, MARYLAND]. RODNEY, Cesar (Delaware). Autograph letter signed ("Cesar Rodney," with flourish) to his brother Thomas Rodney, Dover, 17 December 1780. 1 full page, folio, 317 x 195mm (12½ x 7.5/8in.), integral address leaf with autograph panel (one blank portion defective). An attractive war-date letter. "I was yesterday at Mr. William Brown's...and he informed me that he was just there setting out for Philadelphia in John Brinkle's Shallop....I set down to give you this information that you and Mr. Rumford may have an opportunity to call upon him in a place you would wish to answer for the non-performance of his solemn agreement with your House." He goes on to inquire about family members and reports he will soon leave for New Castle. -- MCKEAN, Thomas (Delaware). Autograph letter signed ("Thos M:Kean") as Governor of Pennsylvania to Richard Cutts, 14 May 1816. 1 page, 4to, 253 x 198mm (9.15/16 x 7.7/8in.), corners tipped to another sheet, boldly penned in dark ink. Fine. Written a few years after McKean had survived attempts to impeach him for nepotism and other offenses: "Soon after Mrs. Cutts set out for Washington, the enclosed letter for her was delivered from the post-office, and is now returned. I trust, ere this arrives at Washington she will have a happy meeting with you, her family & friends. Kiss your amiable little daughter Dolly for me, present my devoirs to Mrs. Cutts..." -- CHASE, Samuel (Maryland). Autograph letter signed ("Samuel Chase") to Ann Chase, Baltimore, 19 August 1806. 1 page, 4to, 241 x 194mm (9½ x 7.5/8in.), integral autograph address panel. To his daughter: "I am greatly pleased with Dr. Sturges' hospitality. I hope my dear Matilda will follow his advice." He then writes about his concern for "the situation of Judge Patterson. I fear that he will not soon recover. If you see him recommend wine whey, and Madiera wine [and] water." He concludes: "Every happiness in life [to] you all. I am in good health." (3)
