The collection of six rare documents being sold by The Raab Collection shows the devotion and loyalty of America’s early political leaders and statesmen, including Washington’s 1783 letter to a soldier thanking him for his service during the Revolutionary War and Jefferson praising the spirit of the American people “which animates our nation” in an 1807 letter. “They show the patriotism of these men at the beginning of our country’s history,” Nathan Raab, president of The Raab Collection, told FoxNews.com. “Each document has its own story to tell and each is evocative of a great and heroic figure.” One document — dated June 9, 1783 — features the signature of General Washington on discharge papers from the Continental Army. Raab said Washington signed them personally to ensure that each soldier knew he was grateful for their service.
