The letter resurfaced several years ago when an auctioneer in Virginia received it from a family that wanted to sell it.
A letter written by Alexander Hamilton in 1780 and believed stolen decades ago from the Massachusetts state archives is going back on display — though not exactly in the room where it happened.
The founding father’s letter will be the featured piece at the Commonwealth Museum’s annual July Fourth exhibit, Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin’s office says. It’s the first time the public is getting a chance to see it since it was returned to the state after a lengthy court battle.
It will be featured alongside Massachusetts’ original copy of the Declaration of Independence.
Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury who’s been getting renewed attention in recent years today!
