Notice the "J" in the Scott signature at the bottom, the "J" in the written "James Scott" in the third line, and the "J" in the written "John Hancock." All identical.
Conclusion: The entire document was written by James Scott.

Or could entire document been written by Hancock? Some of the lettering is in Hancocks style writing. Either the Whole item was written by James Scott or Hancock. I agree same person wrote whole document. This item almost identical to several I have seen at reputable auction houses and with PSA letters. Never seen one advertised as in someones hand other than Hancocks.
