Manuscript DS, signed “Robt Morris" and "James Wilson,” one page both sides, 8 x 13, October 13, 1794. An indenture between Robert Morris of Philadelphia and Arthur Breeze of Whitestown, New York, in which the latter, for "the sum of Three hundred pounds," is assigned a "parcel of Land, situate, lying, & being in the County of Onondaga & State of New York…being half of the Lands granted by the State of New York to the Soldiers serving in the late war against Great Britain, distinguished, & known by the Military Lands." Signed at the conclusion by Morris, and endorsed on the reverse of the second integral page by Wilson. Also docketed and signed by Thomas Morris, the son of Robert Morris and a future New York congressman. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light toning and foxing, and splitting along the hinge and intersecting folds. A highly desirable union of Declaration signers, and our very first Morris-Wilson dual-signed item.
