Very good condition with overall age toning, vertical folds, scattered staining and handling wear, as expected from a document fragment of this period.

Samuel Chase (1741–1811) was an American lawyer, Founding Father, and statesman who represented Maryland in the Continental Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. After serving in Maryland judicial posts, he was appointed an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court by President George Washington in 1796 and remained on the Court until his death. Chase was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1804 but acquitted by the Senate in 1805, an important episode in the development of judicial independence in the United States.
