Manuscript DS in Swedish, signed “Gustavus Adolphus,” one page, 7.5 x 12.75, June 17, 1626. Headed by his titles, "Gustavus Adolphus, by the Grace of God, King of the Swedes, Goths, and Vandals, the Great Prince of Finland, the Duke of Estonia and Karelia, and Lord of Ingria," the monarch states that his beloved Lars Kagg, heading to foreign lands and in order to insure and assist him on his journey, is to receive monies totaling 334 thalers, making them available immediately so that he is not delayed." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light foxing, and light staining to the top.
