An autograph letter signed “Wm: White,” dated Philadelphia, February 20, 1825, by William White, the first Bishop of Pennsylvania.

The correspondence discusses a financial matter concerning “Godwin’s Bond” and names Philip Church as a recipient of funds. Church was the son of John Barker Church and Angelica Schuyler, giving the letter a connection to the Hamilton–Schuyler family circle. References to Detroit and Geneva place the discussion within the geography of the early American republic.
