Lot 118
Laurens, Henry, Autograph Document Signed, one half of 12 x 8 inch page, Charles Town, June 23, 1763. Laurens signs in receipt of monies paid by George Saxby, the king's receiver general: "…Two hundred pounds sterling, in One Thousand four hundred & forty two pounds Curr[en]t money by virtue of a power of Attorney from John Rutherford Esqr & Frances his wife as Executors of the last will & Testament of the late Governor Johnston of North Carolina under His Majesty's Warrant to the representatives of the said Governor Johnston…" Toned, some show-through, and ragged edges, not affecting Laurens' text or signature, which are boldly penned and signed. This seems to be a page from a ledger since the two sides have four other notations (signed by other people) of payments received from George Saxby.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250,
