Handwritten and signed endorsement, “G. Wythe,” on the reverse of the last page of a three-page document (on two adjoining 8 x 10 sheets) written and signed by Rawleigh Colston, to Wythe, regarding a legal issue between Warner Washington and David Williamson. Warner Washington of Frederick County, Virginia, had dealings with David Williamson of Baltimore, Maryland. In March 1794, Williamson’s clerk came to Virginia and told Washington that a balance was due “and took his Bond payable to the sd. Williamson for the Balance stated to be due him by the said Account.” The clerk later returned to Virginia and informed Washington “that there had been a considerable mistake in the said account in your Orators [Washington’s] favor, and produced a new account.” The clerk asked Washington for a new bond, which he said he’d issue upon the return of the first bond—a stance the clerk viewed as being “very inconvenient.”
The document further notes: “Your Orator requested his attorney to procure a delivery of the first mentioned Bond—to him or taken such measures as he should deem proper to prevent his being compelled to pay the amount of the sd Bond twice…May it please your Honor to grant a Writ or Writs of Subpoena and Injunction commanding the said David Williamson the said Sheriff of the sd County of Frederick &c. and your Orator &c -.” Signed by Rawleigh Colston at the conclusion beneath the statement “Warner Washington maketh Oath before me a Magistrate for the County aforesaid that the allegations in this Bill are true so far as they relate to his own actings, & doings & that so far as they relate to the actings & doings of others he believes to be true.” Endorsed on the reverse of the last page, “The injunction is awarded as to six hundred dollars upon the usual; terms. 19th Aug: 1797 G. Wythe.” Intersecting folds, uniform toning, a bit heavier to folds, and show-through from writing on opposite sides, otherwise fine condition.
