Signed on the reverse in the lower corner, “Adams,” and also docketed and signed on the reverse, “Mr. Officer, attach Sufft or hold to Bail—by order, J. Adams.” In very good condition, with partial separations to two vertical folds, scattered toning, light show-through from writing on reverse, and scattered edge chips.
