Note
At head of title: Bedord County Lg
On verso: Payments 1757 ; E. Williams, Clk.
Receipt for 20 pounds for four Delaware Indian scalps
Possibly a later official copy of the original receipt; Bedford County was not erected (out of Cumberland Co.) until 1771, nor was there a Pennsylvania "legislature" in 1757.
Partial watermark dates places and dates paper from 1767 or after -- see Gravell, T. American watermarks, figs. 477 and 479 (entry 196, p. 211).
