Browning and dampstaining to gutters, reaching text but not affecting legibility. Truly unique.* An important daily record detailing the cash receipts of the New York City attorney, John H. Remsen, who was a solicitor in the Court of Chancery. Remsen was associated with numerous prominent figures of the day in New York 's political and financial worlds. His dealings included making loans to Aaron Burr, John Jay, and Col. Duer, paying rent for Col. Rutger's house, and conducting transactions for Joshua Isaacs, James Roosevelt, and many of the established Dutch families. Other entries concern the drawing of leases, letters, and wills, as well as the settling of the estate of his father, Henry Remsen. Recorded, too, are such things as the purchase of canal and New York state road lottery tickets, the distribution of money to the proprietors of Tontine Coffee House, and a French Consul certificate.
