[SIGNERS, CONNECTICUT]. WOLCOTT, Oliver. Autograph letter signed ("Oliver Wolcott") to Mathew Griswold, Litchfield, 23 May 1764. 2 full pages, folio, 324 x 205mm (12¾ x 8in.), autograph address panel on page 4, small repairs, otherwise in good condition. A good letter regarding litigation.: "...I suspect that I shall not be able to procure any further evidence of the kind you mention, in Dr. Lord's case, but will make further tryal." He has seen the pleadings, but "am incapable of judging as to the force or propriety of them," and states that "it must be pretty mortifying that such a villainous trick can any how be brought under the patronage of the law. Lord's prevarticating about the execution and refusing to own to me why he had...led me perhaps into an error...[I] must sir entirely submit the case to your care." Discussing a land case he notes: "Things must for ought I see be drove to the last extremity, for all their attempts to obtain it prove ineffectual...as there is no money amongst us...And it must inevitably ruin a great part of the purchasers to oblige them to pay in this difficult time...The prospects of settlement I thought were fair but they have fail'd." Wolcott is rare in ALS. -- SHERMAN, Roger. Autograph document signed ("Roger Sherman") to John Lawrence, New Haven, 31 October 1786. 1 page, oblong 103 x 185mm (46 x 7¼in.). Fine. Sherman, judge of the Connecticut superior court, writes: "Please to pay to Mr. Nathaniel Sherman £5 lawful money out of my monies...on account of my debenture for attending the Superior Court in the last circuit."
