1774-Dated "John Penn" Signed Land-office Order

JOHN PENN. Governor of Pennsylvania, 1763 to 1771 and from 1773 to 1776, Son of William Penn.
Original Partially-Printed Document dated December 27, 1774, an official Pennsylvania Land-office order Signed, "John Penn," Very Fine. This document is an order to survey 150 acres of land in East Pennsborough Township, for David Lewis of Chester County. It measures 8" x 9" and is very well printed with clear, crisp text and bold brown manuscript portions. There are some expected folds, archival tape repairs on the blank back, overall quite clean and very presentable. This is the first example of this rare type, "John Penn" signed form we have encountered.
