British civil servant (1633–1703) 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 “Pepys,” one page, 7.75 x 11.5, May 20, 1669. Document regarding a transaction dealing in “old lead.” In part: “Six hundred weight at Eight shillings…in as for as much as he is so willing to give the same…for a parcell of old lead now in your Custody as was given at yr cmd. at the late sale…we desire you to deliver his…old lead there is in store.” Intersecting folds, scattered toning to edges, and a bit of scattered light foxing, otherwise fine condition. An uncommon offering boasting a large and bold signature.
