Sir Philip Francis (1740-1818), reputed author of the Junius Letters, gives Turbutt Francis in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, his power of attorney. This is perhaps part of putting his affairs in order in anticipation of his appointment to the governing board in India, whence he departed the following month, and where his rancorous relationship with Warren Hastings gained notoriety. Lot Amendments Condition: The document is split into two pieces, as is the detached conjugate, there are a few chips with some loss, the wax seal next to Francis' signature has perished leaving a 1" hole; fair example, but with a strong signature.
