National Intelligencer & Washington Advertiser

Description:

A copy of the February 24, 1809 edition of the National Intelligencer Newspaper. Includes transcripts of two of Washington’s letters from during the war. These were likely included as memorials to the late Washington, as the paper was released two days after his birthday. The paper also includes two notices regarding policy from the sitting president, Thomas Jefferson, as well as a transcript of a public meeting, a Senate bill on international commerce, and various advertisements. There are two annotations written on the paper - the first, in the upper righthand corner, is “#25” in faded black/blue ink. The second, on the upper lefthand corner, is “J. Cist Wilkesbarre, Pa” in faded black/brown ink. This is likely referring to Jacob Cist, who was the postmaster of Wilkes Barre with connections to Washington D.C.
