Item # 702814

November 19, 1804

BOSTON GAZETTE, Nov. 19, 1804  Page 2 contains the state-of-the-union address of the President headed: "Message", signed in type at its conclusion: Tho. Jefferson.
A portion of his address deals with the new Louisiana Territory just purchased from France the previous year. One paragraph begins: "With the Indian tribes established within our newly acquired limits, I have deemed it necessary to open conferences for the purpose of establishing a good understanding & neighbourly relations between us. So far as we have yet learned we have reason to believe that their dispositions are generally favorable and friendly...".
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
