Description

Handwritten document from Joseph Warren, signed the month before the Boston Massacre

Boston physician, orator, and patriot (1741–1775) who was a pivotal figure in the early revolutionary agitation in Massachusetts. Exceptionally rare autograph document by Joseph Warren, who has signed within the text in the third person, one page, 8.25 x 3, April 18, 1770. A handwritten pay order, amounting to a total of 12 shillings, which reads, in full: “Major Doane to Joseph Warren, To Viz and Medicine to himself in April 1770 18.” In fine condition. Accompanied by an engraved portrait with a facsimile signature and the original invoice and folder from noted historical manuscript dealer Joseph Rubinfine. This historic handwritten document dates to two months after Warren conducted an autopsy on the body of young Christopher Seider, considered the first American killed in the American Revolution, and less than a month before the Boston Massacre, for which he helped assemble the report ‘A Short Narrative of the Horrid Massacre.’ An appreciably rare ADS from Warren, penned by the Boston patriot at a pivotal time of the American Revolution.
