767. JOHN VINING, SR. Speaker of the Colonial Assembly and Chief Justice of Delaware. He was also the good friend of Caesar Rodney. Fine association A.L.S. with integral address leaf, 1p. 4to., [n.p.], June 10, 1761 to Signer Caesar Rodney. Rather cryptic content, possibly Mason-related, in part: "...I received an answer to a letter I wrote to the man you desired me, which runs thus: `He had been confined to his bed since the week after our Court, so that he left me to treat with the other person as I might think proper...and if the result be favorable, you should advise the whole brotherhood therof immediately..." Paperclip stain at top, else very good. $100-150
