Signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey (1723-1794). Extremely uncommon ink signature, “Yours sincerely, Jno Witherspoon,” on an off-white 4 x 1 slip, clipped from a larger letter. In fine condition, with some light toning and soiling, mounting remants to reverse, and another couple difficult to decipher words in Witherspoon’s hand above sentiment. In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Witherspoon’s autograph material into the “very rare” category among the Signers. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
