Signer of the Declaration of Independence from North Carolina (1741–1788) who also practiced law and served in the Continental Congress. Hand-addressed and free franked address panel, 6.5 x 2.75, no date, (but likely between 1776–1780) addressed by Penn to “His Excellency Richard Caswell Esqr., Governor of the State of North Carolina,” and franked in the lower left, “Free John Penn.” In very good condition, with central vertical fold, repaired paper loss to top right portion of panel, and scattered toning and soiling. Housed in a folio-sized blue half-morocco and cloth clamshell case, with spine gilt. In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Penn’s autograph material into the “very rare” category among the Signers—an echelon second only to that occupied by the virtually unobtainable Gwinnett and Lynch.
