* Early Thomas Jefferson mention
* American government in it's infancy
The front page has: "Proceedings Of Congress" which includes: "A sketch of the Debate on the Bill for establishing the Executive Department for Foreign Affairs" later to be titled Department of State.
Page 3 has an extract of a letter from a military officer at Midway, Georgia, describing an Indian attack and the theft of several negroes. From "New York" are the lyrics of "A Federal Song for The Anniversary of American Independence."
A brief item says that the President "...has been indisposed with a slight fever...but the public anxiety may be abated, by the assurance that he is now much better." And there is a mention of Thomas Jefferson in another item: "We are informed that His Excellency Thomas Jefferson, Minister Plenipotentiary, from the United States to the Court of France, has requested to leave to visit America: and that The President has granted him permission accordingly." There is also word that the President nominated William Short as Charge des Affaires "...for the United States, at that Court, during the absence of Mr. Jefferson....".
