Chouteau (1749–1825) was a railroad executive and the son of founder of St. Louis, Missouri, Rene Chouteau. Shaw (1800–1889) was a philanthropist and is best known as the founder of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Manuscript DS, one page, 8 x 13, 1835. Headed at the top, “Estate of W R Turpin (decd) To Henry Shaw Dr.” The upper portion lists the $73.69 due Henry Shaw for listed purchases, in 1834, of tin plates, iron ware, iron sheets, nails, a jack screw, and wagon boxes. Beneath the list, Chouteau has written “Allowed in open court seventy three dollars 69 cents placed in the fifth class. 5th February 1835. Henry Chouteau Clerk.” Shaw has penned beneath Chouteau, “Dec 11th 1835 Received of Ann M. Turpin administratrix of W R Turpin decd – Seventy three dollars and Sixty nine cents in full of the above account. Henry Shaw.” Mild block of toning from previous display, intersecting folds, one through a single letter of each signature, small tear to top edge, and mounting remnants to reverse of top edge, otherwise fine condition. An interesting document signed by two of St. Louis’s earliest and most prominent names.
