[Original 222 year old American letter, Dutch Reformed Church] A letter by the 19 year old Jeremiah Romeyn accepting the pastorate at the Dutch Reformed Church, Livingston Manor. The letter is addressed to John Henry Livingston, the most prominent minister of the Reformed Church and future president of Rutgers College. Romeyn thanks Livingston for the opportunity and talks about accommodation, future marriage, and cost of exam for his ordination (fifteen pounds). Laid paper with watermark of Britannia (see last image). Wonderful letter.
Romeyn, Jeremiah (1768 – 1818). AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. Addressed to John Henry Livingstone, Hackinsack, September 10, 1788. [Hackensack with an “i” and Livingston with an “e” at end]. Single sheet folded. Creased at folds with some stains. (7 7/8 x 6 3/8 inches)The seller says the letter's recipient was in Hackensack. To me, the top part of the letter indicates that the writer wrote it in Hackensack. The writer, BTW, shared a surname - Romeyn - with a much-later pastor of Hackensack's First Reformed Church (Church on the Green).
