Bill of Sale

William Rush

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of paper with handwritten text. The paper is rectangular and has rough, uneven edges. The paper is light gray in color. The handwriting is in black ink and appears to be cursive. There are several lines of text written on the paper, but they are not clearly legible. The text appears to be a letter or document of some kind. The document is titled "Bill of Sale by William Rush". The handwriting is difficult to read, but it appears to include a date, possibly "Philada June 12 1809". There are several signatures on the document. The background of the image is white.
