Description: Receipt of Peter Colt "for attending the General Assembly". Connecticut State Treasurer (1790"1794). Each cut receipt measures approximately 7" x 2". Peter Colt (1744-1824) was a Connecticut manufacturer and investor. Colt was a paymaster during the Revolutionary War. Colt, who attended the state ratifying convention for the US Constitution, was Connecticut State Treasurer (1790-1794), and later managed the first cotton mill in New Jersey. He was the grandfather of firearms manufacturer Samuel Colt. He was co-creator of the Hartford textile mill which produced the suits worn by George Washington, John Adams and many members of Congress at the first Presidential Inauguration (1789). The brown cloth from which the suits were cut became known as "Congress brown."

The cost of victory in the 1754 to 1763 French and Indian War and the 1756 to 1763 Seven Years' War left the British government deeply in debt; attempts to have the colonies pay for their own defense were vigorously resisted. The Stamp Act and Townshend Acts provoked colonial opposition and unrest, leading to the 1770 Boston Massacre and 1773 Boston Tea Party. When Parliament imposed the Intolerable Acts upon Massachusetts, twelve colonies sent delegates to the First Continental Congress to draft a Item ordered may not be exact piece shown. All original and authentic.
