Two partly-printed DSs, both concerning individuals for debt owed, each measuring approximately 7.75 x 6.5, the first a May 25, 1775 summons from Rhode Island, requiring Charles Bawler pay “Nine shillings & Eleven Pence Lawful Money, together with 6 Pence for this Execution,” to Josiah Harris, signed at the conclusion by Justice of the Peace, Andrew Harris, and the second summons a November 27, 1783 summons, requiring Easick Eddy pay “Thirteen Shilling…together with Six Pence for this Execution,” to David Lues, bearing the same signature at the conclusion. Both documents bear docketing on the reverse. Each document bearing three vertical folds, uniform toning, scattered light spotting, some light mirroring, wax seal remnants, and slightly rough edges; and the first document bears a substantial separation to one of the folds, held together with a piece of reparative tape, otherwise very good condition. These documents herald from Rhode Island’s most prestigious period: the colony made history as the first to formally announce its independence on May 4, 1776, two full months before the Declaration was officiated.
