(AMERICAN JUDAICA).
In Senate of the United States. August 9, 1850…The Committee on Revolutionary Claims, to Whom was Referred the Memorial of H.M. Salomon, for Indemnification for Advances of Money Made by his Father During the Revolutionary War.
pp. 7. Light stains. Unbound. 8vo. Singerman 1168
(Washington, DC): 1850
The Polish-born patriot Haym Salomon (1740-85) greatly assisted the American army in the struggle for independence from England by advancing fabulous sums of money. In addition, several patriots such as future President James Madison were sustained in their time of financial distress by the largess of Haym Salomon. However Salomon died suddenly and unexpectedly,leaving his wife and children with many unpaid debts. Haym Salomon’s heir, his namsake son, Haym M. Salomon (1785-1858) attempted at various times over the years to obtain from the American government the monies still owed the family. Despite considerable agitation on his part, the proposed bill was never passed. The present report by a United States Senate Committee recounts the entire matter. See JE, Vol. X, pp. 653-655; EJ, Vol. XIV, cols. 695-6.
