Your Most Humble and Obedient Servant

We’re going to start this podcast the same way we started the Historical Society – with Henry Laurens. His papers were the first collection that the Historical Society held, and we’ll discuss some of those papers – namely the pamphlet collection within the papers – in today’s episode which is titled “Your Most Humble and Obedient Servant” for the way gentlemen of the time signed letters, even if it was to someone they very much disliked. An alternate title could be Henry Laurens vs. Everybody.
