THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY OR WORCESTER GAZETTE, April 22, 1801  

* President Thomas Jefferson 
* re. Presidential election victory

Page 3 has a letter from the President to the people of Providence, R.I., returning thanks for their congratulations for being elected President. It is signed in type: Thomas Jefferson.
Four pages, various foxing, close-trimmed at the right margins affects some text but fortunately not even close to the mentioned report.

background: This specific correspondence, printed on Page 3 of the April 22, 1801, edition of Thomas’s Massachusetts Spy, represents a critical moment in Thomas Jefferson’s "charm offensive" to win over a deeply divided New England. Following a bitter election, the Republican-leaning citizens of Providence, Rhode Island, sent an address on March 5th congratulating Jefferson and expressing their "high satisfaction" at his elevation to the Presidency. In the reply you see in your paper, Jefferson uses his hallmark eloquence to pivot from partisan victory to national reconciliation; he argues that while Americans may differ in their political opinions, they are united by a shared commitment to the Constitution and the "sacred principle" that the rights of the minority must be protected by equal law. By publishing this in the Worcester Gazette—a paper run by the legendary Isaiah Thomas in the heart of Federalist Massachusetts—Jefferson was effectively broadcasting a message of peace to his fiercest critics, attempting to prove that his administration would be one of "social intercourse" and "harmony" rather than the radical upheaval his enemies feared.
