United States senator, 1802-1803; Mayor of New York City, 1803-1815 (except for 1807-1808 and 1810-1811); Governor of New York State, 1817-1821 and 1825-1828. Papers consist chiefly of letters, 1790-1835, but also include military commissions signed by Clinton as Governor of New York and other official and legal documents; autographs; portraits; clippings; and printed material. Clinton's letters contain discussions of senatorial, gubernatorial, and mayoral matters; politics; real estate in New York City and State; legislation concerning the Manhattan Company of New York City and its Utica and Poughkeepsie branches; proposed banks; canal construction; New York City historical and medical societies; and family and personal matters. The two major recipients of letters are John Pintard (1759-1844), merchant, philanthropist, and New York City official, and Henry Remsen (1736-1792).
