ADAMS, JOHN QUINCY
(1767 - 1848) Sixth President of the United States, Secretary of State under Monroe who principally formulated the Monroe Doctrine. Early A.L.S. ""John Quincy Adams"", 1p. 4to., Washington, Feb. 18, 1804, to M.L. Davis regarding a financial-related lawsuit. In part: ""...My object...would be to question...very closely with respect to the two conveyances...made to Mr. Harrison, for the benefit of certain creditors...both were made in contemplation of bankruptcy and thus void. But if less than 3000 dollars, besides my claim and that of the United States, are proved, I wish the Assignees would delay proceeding further..."". Boldly written, very good.
