New York, November 25th, 1796. Handwritten document starting that Jacob Hays promised to pay James L. Bogart "the just and full sum of sixty five pound[s] current lawful money of the state of New York" with signatures and a single seal at bottom. No further location details are provided. Jacob Hays, mentioned in the document, is possibly related to another Jacob Hays, who was a colonial American Jewish merchant that arrived from Holland in the 1720s, and was one of the early members of the Shearith Israel Congregation Synagogue in New York City. Fine to VF condition with some toning, still in good condition for its age.
