ALS signed “E. Gerry,” one page, 7.75 x 9.25, March 16, 1805. Letter to “Honble Mr. Bartlett,” in part: “I have rec’d the deed of your land…& wish that a paragraph may be inserted in the advertisement which I have sent to Messrs. Adams & Rhoades for Monday next…Two hundred dollars is a small sum, & till of late could be spared by me at almost any time…but I have been obliged to take money out of one of the Boston banks in consequence of several disappointments, which I have lately experienced: otherwise it should be instantly promised agreeably to your request. The great scarcity of this article, exceeds everything I have ever met with in this country.” In good to very good condition, with overall staining, small areas of paper loss, and complete silking to the back for reinforcement.
