Signed Cheque ("J. Conrad") made out to Borys Conrad, his son.

Westminster Bank Ltd, £3, Countersigned on back "Borys Conrad". One of the last cheques signed by Conrad, obviously one of the last things "written" by him. Seven cheques were found by a fellow dealer in a book from Conrad's Library ("an 1830s book on Napoleon", one of which he sold on eBay, the other six coming to me. I have consigned one to a colleague, and am offering out the others individually, including a cheque made out to his wife, Jessie (and countersigned by her) dated 28 July 1924 which, since he died on 3 August 1924, is arguably the last thing he wrote. See item 2137. Other cheques, all countersigned by payee: Mrs J. Conrad, wife, 13 July 1924, £16.10, (£600.00).
