Ink signature, “Go: Washington,” on an off-white 8.75 x 3 slip clipped from a 1769 land indenture. In good condition, with professional backing to slip, several repaired vertical folds, two passing through portions of signature, moderate toning, some paper loss along bottom of folds and lower edge, and red wax remnants next to signature. In these pre-war years Washington was a successful planter and member of Virginia's social elite, and he had begun to be more politically active; in 1769, he presented the Virginia Assembly with legislation to boycott English goods until the Townshend Acts were repealed.
