4to. Two-pages, approximately 125 words; addressed verso of blank integral leaf and docketed [by Gilmor?]. Gilmor (1774-1848), a merchant and collector, was "one of the most significant art collectors and patrons in the United States before 1850" (Lance Humphries, "Robert Gilmor, Jr. [1774-1848]: Baltimore Collector and American Art Patron," UVA Library online abstract). Old fold lines, seal break repaired, but very good.
