Manuscript document on vellum, 13.75 x 14 in. May 8, 1773. Handwritten in Latin, in beautiful calligraphic style, the document attests that...Gulielmo Leigh was a young man of good character and for three years living in the Society we found he always was honest. This is attested by seal of the Society and signatures of the President and Members...Given on the Premises of William and Mary College in Virginia (loose translation). The Flat Head Club was recommending Leigh to the S.P.D. (likely another club or student fraternity). Signed by 13 members, the President being James Innes, who would be a colonel and aide to General George Washington a few years later. Also signed by St. George Tucker, Beverly Randolph, and 10 others, most who probably fought in the Revolutionary War. An interesting document from the Flat Head Club, which is considered the first recorded college fraternity in America and included famous members such as Thomas Jefferson Condition: Some age toning, but fine condition for its age.
