BURR, Aaron (1756-1836), Vice-President. Autograph letter signed ("Aaron Burr") to "Elisha" (Elias) Boudinot (1740-1821), New York, 21 September 1793. 1 page, folio, integral autograph address panel, a portion of address leaf clipped away, light browning along folds. BURR COLLECTS A DEBT. After six years of practicing law in New York, Burr had been elected to the U.S. Senate. An interesting letter, rather peremptory, demanding funds from the Livingston estate (perhaps that of William Livingstone (1723-1790), a signer of the Constitution and late Governor of New Jersey): "The Debts due from Mr Livingstons Estate are become so pressing that we can allow no longer indulgence to the Creditors. Mr Reade joins me in entreating that you will make the most speedy settlement of the Debts in your hands to collect - Atkinson's being the most considerable sum is particularly relied on." Burr, who failed to win a second term in the Senate, focused on promoting the Democratic party in New York. He was elected Vice-President in 1801, engaged in the celebrated duel with Alexander Hamilton, and in 1807 was arrested, tried and acquitted of a conspiracy to seize territory from Spain and create a new republic in the Southwest.
