Revolutionary War Depreciation of Pay Document.

A one page partially printed and manuscript folio sheet (13" x 8 1/4"), considerable manuscript text on the reverse. Some browning and aging, a few tiny chips or holes at folds, top edge with a couple of nicks; otherwise very good. This document basically transfers pay owed to William Champlin of Rensselaer County New York, who served under Colonel Robert Elliot, to a Samuel Dorrance of Providence, Rhode Island. Champlin appears to appoint Dorrance as his substitute to collect the balance of fourteen pounds, fifteen shillings and five pence. The document is signed by various others. There is a fair amount of manuscript text on the reverse, which appears to transfer the debt to at least one additional person.  Provenance: The Calvin Otto Collection.
