A contributor’s note sealed and delivered in the presence of Clymer. In part: “I William Coleman of the City of Philad’a, Merch’t, do promise to pay Charles Norris Treasurer of the Pennsylvania Hospital…the Sum of Twenty five pounds current money in Pennsylvania.” Signed at the conclusion by Clymer and countersigned by Hugh Roberts. A similar note for another party is printed above. Light foxing and toning, show-through from docketing to reverse, and large portions removed (seemingly as cancellation cuts), otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned engraving.
