The President's state-of-the-union address, from the nation's capital...



Item # 657096

December 10, 1840

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Dec. 10, 1840  Taking almost the entirety of page 2 is the President's annual state-of-the-union address, signed in type at its conclusion by: M. Van Buren. It is headed: "MESSAGE Of The President of the United States...".
As was typical with this annual tradition, President Van Buren reviewed the events of the year addressing the broad scope of work which concerned the nation in 1840.
Additionally, page 3 has a half column editorial on it, headed: "The President's Message, etc".
Terrific to have this document in this title from the nation's capital, where the address was given.
Four pages, very nice condition.
