ADS, signed in the text, “John Adams,” one page, 6 x 4, June 18, 1764. Financial document reads in full: “Braintree June 18, 1764. For value rec’d I promise to pay John Adams or his order One Pound Three Shillings and Eighteen Pence of lawful money on demand with lawful interest therefore till paid. Witness my hand.” Signed at the conclusion by Matthew Pratt and John Vonton. Float-matted and framed with an engraved portrait, to an overall size of 12 x 18.5. In very good condition, with small splits along intersecting folds, one fold passing through a single letter of signature, and scattered toning and edge wear. The following year, Adams would rise to prominence as an opponent of the Stamp Act, one of the instances of ‘no taxation without representation.’
