Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 20.25 x 16.5, December 15, 1821. A four-language ship’s papers issued to “Reuben Ray master or commander of the Ship called Porcia … lying at present in the port of New Bedford bound for Pacific Ocean, and laden with Provisions & Stores, for the Whale fishery.” Signed in the third panel by Monroe, and countersigned by John Quincy Adams. In good to very good condition, with intersecting folds, one each through a single letter of each signature, old reinforcement along reverse of central vertical fold, scattered edge chipping and wear, uniform toning with a few heavier spots, and scattered soiling. The seal is toned, but intact. Both signatures are quite bold and mostly unaffected by the flaws. An impressive early presidential pairing.
