Autograph Document Signed in text , "S. D. Gross", one page, 7.5" X 10", December 29, 1845, Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Gross writes, "the Estate of the late Dr. James Spence / to S. D. Gross, Dr. / For professional services during Dr. Spence's long illness- $70.00 / Louisville, Dec. 29,1845 ." The next paragraph of the document, completed in manuscript by the Justice of the Peace reads, "State of Kentucky Jefferson County, This day Dr. S. D. Gross made oath before me, a justice of the Peace of said County that the above account is just and unpaid given under my hand Dec. 31, 1845." Below this is the Autograph Letter Signed, "S. D. Gross".
In full, "Louisville, Dec. 29, 1845. / Dear Sir - / It is true that physicians do not generally charge for attendance upon each other. There are, however, exceptions to all rules. Favors are reciprocal. Dr. Spence was in good circumstances & died without any family. Had it been otherwise, I should certainly not have presented any account for professional services. Respectfully, your obedient servant. / S. D. Gross." Slight show-through of docketing on verso affecting only the portion of the document written by the Justice of the Peace. Edge wear, toning and partial separation along folds, else very good condition. The sheet could be split at the folds to separate the two documents, each containing a signature of the doctor.
