Summary
| Description |
English: A bank draft (No. 754, dated July 24, 1824), hand written and signed by Daniel Webster on a printed form in the amount of $3,001.01 drawn on the Boston branch of the Second Bank of the United States (1816-41) and made to the order of Titus Welles, Esq, an attorney and President of the Eagle Bank (Boston) who received the funds acting as executor of an estate. Then a member of Congress (Fed-MA 1st), Webster was also both legal counsel for the Congressionally chartered, Philadelphia based Bank as well as the Director of its Boston branch. In 1819 he won McCulloch v. Maryland, in the Supreme Court of the United States which reversed an earlier Maryland Court of Appeals holding in a tax case against the Baltimore branch of the Bank. Based on the Consumer Price Index, $3,001.01 would represent in excess $75,000 in 2017 US Dollars. |
