British civil servant (1633–1703) who was promoted to Secretary to the Admiralty in 1673. Pepys is best remembered as the author of a nine-year, multi-volume diary, one of the essential documents of 17th century British history and literature. Manuscript DS, signed “S. Pepys,” one page, 7 x 7, July 31, 1667. Document reads, in full: “I doe hereby assigne & transferr all my right, Title & interest in this Order unto Mrs. Mary Rumbold Administratix to Wm Rumbold Esq Deceaed.” Signed underneath by Pepys. Document is also endorsed at the top by another official. In very good condition, with central vertical fold, scattered toning and soiling, a few edge dings, and a “DUPL” stamp to bottom. An uncommon offering boasting a large and bold signature.
