Wax seal small tear on blank area of rear leaf opening of the seal. Light wear. Very Good. <br/><br/> This letter concerns the high-profile counterfeiting case involving William Brockway Henry Knickerbacker and a Mr. Snyder. In 1847 and 1848 counterfeit bills of several New Haven banks appeared in commerce. The banks-- through Hervey Sanford and Henry Hotchkiss-- made vigorous efforts to identify the criminals and to procure new plates. But the counterfeiters copied the new bills expertly. The criminals then counterfeited bills of the North River Bank in Hudson New York. Here their luck ran out; they were caught and arrested in Hudson in 1849. This January 1850 letter to Attorney Southerland is in preparation for the trial of the malefactors. <br/> Brockway escaped from jail around April 1850; he was recaptured in September. POUGHKEEPSIE JOURNAL April 13 1850 Page 2 and September 7 1850 Page 2; NEW YORK TRIBUNE April 19 1850 Page 1. William Brockway 1822-1920 had a 50-year counterfeiting career. One of the best most famous and most interesting counterfeiters of his day he studied chemistry at Yale and made exact copies of currency printing plates. He fooled the most accomplished forgery detectors and Treasury officials. Undeterred by this arrest he continued to practice his trade and was arrested and convicted several times into the early 1900's.<br/> Henry Hotchkiss 1801-1871 was president of the New Haven County Bank for 21 years. A pillar of the New Haven establishment he was a member of every significant community institution. Hervey Sanford 1785-1869 was president of City Bank of New Haven for many years and president of the New Haven Bank. He also served as director of the New Haven County Bank. <br/> Waterman Lilly Ormsby 1809-1883 born in Connecticut settled in New York. He was an engraver and inventor of a ruling-machine a transfer-press and the "grammagraph" for roll-die engraving on steel which engraved on steel directly from medals medallions and the like using a "roll-die" engraving technique for engraving on steel.
