NEW-ENGLAND PALLADIUM, Boston, Oct. 28, 1803

* President Thomas Jefferson
* State of the Union Address
* re. Louisiana Purchase

Over half of the front page is taken up with the: "MESSAGE" of Thomas Jefferson to Congress, being his annual state-of-the-union address signed in italic type by him: Th. Jefferson.
Not surprisingly, most of Jefferson's address is concerning the Louisiana Purchase, a timely event near the end of 1803. One bit includes: "Should the acquisition of Louisiana be constitutionally confirmed & carried into effect, a sum of nearly thirteen millions of dollars will then be added to our public debt..." with more. The purchase would be ratified the following month.
Four pages, nice condition.
