"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Rare, early autograph note twice-signed by patriot John Adams who writes, ''Rec'd the contents of this note principal & interest by the hand of Josiah Sturtevant [?] at Plymouth Dec. 1767 / J. Adams''. Note is written on a 6.25'' x 3.5'' sheet with calculations to the margins, not affecting Adams' writing. On verso is the original obligation made by Lemuel Sturtevant who promises to repay John Adams three pounds and six shillings with interest. Obligation is written by John Adams in the third person, thus note is twice-signed. The only portion of note not in Adam's hand is Lemuel Sturtevant's signature. Exceptionally bold handwriting by Adams, clearly and largely written. Some uniform toning to note and light creasing, else near fine.
