Cruikshank's Autograph Signature ('Geoe Cruikshank') on a slip of paper cut from the minutes of meetings of a 'Society'.

On both sides of a piece of wove paper, dimensions roughly 8.5 x 20 cm. Cruikshank's signature is approximately 9 cm long, with the final letter of his Christian name in superscript. Paper aged and creased, with central vertical fold, and wear to one edge (not affecting text). Recto reads '<...> in the interim - | That 2 door Mats be ordered for the use of the Society | Adjourned till Thursday 7th June - | [signed] Geoe Cruikshank | Monday June 4. | General Meeting of the Society | Mr Parsonage in the Chair. | The Requisition for calling the General Meeting was read by the Secretary'. Reverse reads (first line cropped) '<...> Thursday 7 June 1827 | Mr G. Cruickshank [sic] in the Chair. | Present Messrs Voelker Parsonage Davenport Reynolds. Boulter Muston Burrowes G. R Cruickshank, Welmore Clark & Webster. | The Minutes of the last meeting were read & confirmed. | The Minutes of General Meeting on Monday June 4th. were read | The Subscriptions & Disbursements were read by the Secretary.' The identity of the Society to which this item relates is not clear. Cruikshank was an enthusiastic proponent of temperance, but the London Temperance Society was not founded until 1831.
