Item description from seller

Slip of paper, size 3" x 10", three lines in ink, signed J. Aislabie. The slip has been cut from a printed document, with three first lines only, referring to repayment of a loan by Aislabie, with the date 11 May 1715. Aislabie had been made Treasurer of the navy in 1714. In 1717 he became Chancellor of the Exchequer. He supported the South Sea Company, and steered the Bill through the House of Commons, but when the scheme collapsed he was found guilty of corruption and sent to the Tower of London. --- Please e-mail for one of my FREE CATALOGUES which include GENERAL [ Manuscripts, Maps, Ephemera, Views, etc., etc. ] ---.
