Description

Hayes draws up an agreement for a real estate sale, signing twice

Partly-printed DS, twice-signed “R. B. Hayes,” one page, 8.5 x 13, May 21, 1875. Agreement between Hayes and George Greiner, Jr., filled out entirely in Hayes’s hand, in which he agrees to sell Greiner lot “number sixteen hundred & seventy (1670) in said town of Fremont,” in exchange for $600, “fifty dollars cash in hand and the balance in five equal annual instalments [sic].” Signed once at the top by Hayes and once at the conclusion, and countersigned by Greiner. Reverse also bears docketing in Hayes’s hand, reiterating the payment plan. In very good to fine condition, with three horizontal storage folds, mild toning and some soiling to the borders, two tack holes to the left border, and the writing a shade light but eminently legible. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
