ADS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 3, March 21, 1770. On the front, Adams writes out a promissory note, signing at the conclusion: "Boston, March 21, 1770, For value rec'd I promise to pay Mr. Edmund Soper or order, sixty eight Pounds Fifteen Shillings, and Eight Pence lawfull money on demand, Witness my Hand, Jon Adams." On the reverse, Adams writes out the body of the document, signing within the text: "Boston, March 22d, 1770…received of John Adams Fifty Pounds Ten Shillings and Six Pence lawfull Money in part of the within Note," endorsed below by Edmund Soper. In very good to fine condition, with some old adhesive residue, and a hole affecting a couple of words of text. A fantastic example boasting two bold signatures from the influential founding father.
