Handwritten endorsement, signed “John Adams,” on the reverse of a partial manuscript document, one page, 7.5 x 10.5, circa December 1768, ordering the Sheriff to “Attach the Goods of Estate of Jeremiah Russell of Boston,” regarding a piece of land from the estate of John Osborne. On the reverse Adams writes, “and the Pttf agreeing to the within Reservation say the said…plea is not sufft, and the said Jeremiah says his Plea is sufficient.” Intersecting folds, tape repair to horizontal fold, trimmed bottom edge, scattered toning, and a few small holes along folds, otherwise very good condition. Accompanied by an unsigned engraving. Adams had been serving as a lawyer for the past 10 years, and at the time of this endorsement, was a fierce opponent of the Stamp Act, having published several anonymous articles as well as drafting the Braintree Instructions.
