John Adams twice-signed check, signed ''John Adams'' at lower right and also ''John Adams Welsh'' to his namesake, the son of his close friends Thomas and Abigail Welsh. Partially printed check is drawn from the ''Massachusetts Bank'' in 1815 for $100, filled out in Adams' hand, and unusual in that most payments of the time were entirely handwritten, in the form of a promissory note, and not a bank-issued document such as this. Check measures 4.75'' x 2'', irregularly trimmed along edges. Two file holes, not affecting signatures; overall in very good plus condition. Slabbed by PSA/DNA. A rare check signed by the second President.
