I have purchased a very old document-from the 1700's--partially written in Latin and English--may be a promisary note or letter of indenture--it appears the person signing the note was a William Brewer--the two folks witnessing the note were Gentleman John Collier and Henry Dodson--am still not sure as to exact content of document as it is hand written in Calligraphy and not the same as normal writing by todays standards---there is also a wax seal on document which appears to be two dragons or birds with one body----I purchased the document from folks who found it in England-or believed it came from there as the old stamps at the top are English from the 1700's.
