STEUBEN, Friedrich Wilhelm von (1730-1794). Revolutionary War General. Partly printed document signed (“Steuben”), New York, 7 October 1790. 1 page, oblong 8vo (3 ¼ x 6in.), cancellation marks.
Steuben writes a check for twenty-six dollars to Timothy Wood. After his illustrious war career on behalf of the American cause, von Steuben decided to remain in the U.S. and became a citizen, living lavishly beyond his means in New Jersey and New York. Congress awarded him a $2,500 pension in 1790, and Alexander Hamilton and other comrades in arms arranged to find him a generous mortgage on a property in Remsen, near Utica, New York.
