Otis, Samuel (1740-1814) Revolutionary War quartermaster of the Continental army; speaker of the Massachusetts house of representatives, member of Congress under the Articles of Confederation, and first secretary of the U.S. Senate. Document Signed ("Sam: Otis") three times, once in full in the text, once at the bottom and once on the verso, two pages, Boston, May 6, 1765. Otis declares that he rented a cellar in 1763 and a store in 1764 from a Mr. Wheelwright but the rents are being demanded by two other men and he doesn't know whom to pay. Some questions and answers on the verso settle the question and Otis signs that he paid Mr. Wheelwright. Very good; toned with scattered foxing.
