Quarto, two pages, plus stamp less address leaf, old folds, some archival tape repairs at fold joints, some light creasing and wrinkling, else very good.
Davis writes to Jasper Yeates of Lancaster, Pennsylvania seeking his support for appointment to the prothonotaryship of Chester County:
"Sir,
Under the permission of Mr. Burd, I have presumed to address this to you, requesting you will not be offended at the liberty I have taken. In consequence of an idea that prevailed sometime since that the prothonotaryship of Chester County would soon become vacant – and encouraged thereto by the recommendation of the Chief Justice, Mr. Rush, Mr. Shippen, (truncated)
