D.S., David Livingston (an early example of his signature frequently used in the 1840s), one page, slim oblong 8vo, Kuruman, South Africa, 1st April 1842, being a manuscript cheque ordering Rev. Dr. Phillip in Cape Town to 'Eight days after sight please pay to John Maskell Esq or order, the sum of forty pounds Sterling, and place the same to the account of salary from the London Missionary Society'. With various annotations and endorsements to the recto and verso and a single ink stroke cancellation, partially running through a few letters of Livingstone's signature (although still perfectly legible).
