Endorsement, signed “John Adams,” on the reverse of a one page document. 6.5 x 8, November 23, 1768. Document orders the Sheriff of Suffolk County to take Robert Gordon into custody to answer a charge brought on by Edward Stanley of London on Gordon’s failure to pay him £130. Endorsement, written in an unknown hand reads, “And this Edward agreeing to the liberty reserved by the Defs in his plea says the same is insufficient in law therefore he prays judgement for his damages & cost.” Impressively suede-matted and framed with two gold-inlaid, sterling silver portrait plates issued in a limited edition by the Franklin Mint in the early-to-mid 1970s, a well-done copy of the front of the document, and a large copy of the Constitution, to an overall size of 42 x 27. Scattered toning, a bit heavier along horizontal folds, a few chips to edges, circular toning from wax seal, and light show-through from text on opposite side, otherwise very good condition. Oversized.
