Description
George Washington Autograph Document Signed, "G Washington", one page, 7.25" x 5", n.p. (likely Mt. Vernon), January 25, 1774. Written entirely in Washington's hand, this somewhat enigmatic document appears to be an invoice for expenses associated with surveying lands some twenty years earlier on behalf of a "Colo. Stephen". Old archival repairs along folds, even brown toning. With a large, bold Washington signature. Good condition. The client named on this document could very well be Adam Stephen, who served with Washington in Virginia Militia during the French and Indian War. Stephen, like Washington, was an aggressive land speculator and often was the future president's business and political rival.Auction Info
