TWEED, William M. ("Boss"). Head of Tammany Hall Democratic organization in New York City, fraudulently bilked the city of millions of dollars before being brought to justice, largely through the efforts of caricaturist Thomas Nast. Partly-printed Document Signed, "W M Tweed" consisting of three Substitute and Relief Committee documents pertaining to John McCarthy, a carpenter from Harlem. Dated September 29, 1863, these documents assign a substitute and certify that he has been paid. VG. Tweed's signature is blotted and obstructed. A nice New York substitute document.
