- GEN LEONIDAS POLK HANDWRITTEN SIGNED
GEN LEONIDAS POLK HANDWRITTEN SIGNED LETTER Leonidas Polk (1838-1864), signed letter in his hand. ALS, as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana and founder of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America. This was before becoming a General in the Confederate Army. Letter is to Reverend L, discussing religion. General Leonidas Lafayette Polk, second cousin to President James K.

A graduate of West Point, he resigned his military commission in 1827 and was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church in 1830. He served as Bishop of Louisiana from 1841 to 1864. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Jefferson Davis convinced Polk to accept a commission in the army of the Confederate States.

During the Atlanta Campaign, Polk was killed in action on June 14, 1864, while on a scouting mission in Kennesaw Georgia.

To pay Charles Schultz on order sixty pounds, two shillings and six pence, in full for sundry iron work for the Assembly Room.

Both Bayard and Rittenhouse were members of the Committee of Safety and the Constitutional Convention. Bayard was a member of the Sons of Liberty and as Colonel served at the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Princeton. The fledgling American government returned to the State house in July 1778 after the British occupation seven months earlier. The State house later became known as Independence Hall due to the keen interest shown by the Marquis de Lafayette in his visit to Philadelphia during his farewell tour in 1824, wanting to see the 'Hall of Independence' which he deemed sacred to the cause of liberty. The Assembly Room to which this document refers, so important to American history, is pictured on the reverse side of the US two-dollar bill, from the original painting by John Trumbull entitled 'Declaration of Independence.'
