Unsigned autograph document, 10.25 x 7, dated September 21, 1818. Headed in another hand, “Meltons Bluff September 21st 1818 Richard Massey Dr to the farm of Jacksons and Hutchings.” Richard Massey was the overseer of the plantation. The first seven entries, for “Cotton…Corn…fodder…” totaling $85.50 are also not in Jackson’s hand, but the next 20 lines, over 100 words and amounts, were penned by Andrew Jackson. In part, “Credit by Sundries for cash advanced for the use of the farmers for account rendered $29.62½” which is deducted by Jackson from the $85.50 leaving a balance of $55.87½. Continuing, “cash paid John Lookingbill for picking out 2362½ pounds of cotton a receipt to be obtained by R. Massey…cash paid Sambert for cutting corn as pr recpt 5.50…cash paid Shadrack Howard for picking out cotton as pr recpt 11.50…Cash paid Jessie Owens for weaving as pr receipt. 7.25 Ditto for Picking out cotton as pr recpt 4.00…Charles Plant for Beef as pr receipt 7.70…Shirt for Stephen…paid John Baker for picking out 175 lb cotton…paid Jane Willson for her sons picking cotton…” Docketed by Jackson on the reverse of the integral leaf: “repts paid for Picking out cotton &c Meltons Bluff & recpts for the same – rendered by R. Massey overseer 24th Septr 1818.” Accompanied by five manuscript receipts mentioned by Jackson in the above document. Professional repair to central vertical separation between the sheet and its integral leaf, some scattered pinholes of paper loss, scattered toning and soiling, and some chipping to edges, otherwise very good condition.
