Summons Mississippi territory of the United States to the Sheriff of Amite County commanding him to take into custody Julius Nichols for issuing a challenge to a duel. Dated 29th day of June, 1816, signed by Thomas Bachelor, Clerk. Very finely written by a professional secretary and names the judge Walter Leake and ends the 40th year of American Independence. The document measures approx. 7-1/2” by 12-1/4” in width. Shows folding, some small tatters, minor acid burns, but is good and clearly written. Would be interesting to research the particulars of the name Julius Nichols. From the William R. Orbelo collection. Est: $400 - $800
