Monroe, James:
Washington. Dec. 5, 1821. Broadside, 55 x 38 cm. Scattered foxing, tear on old fold extending from left margin an inch into text block with small loss of type. Good. Expertly matted, and protected with a mylar sheet. Monroe's State of the Union Message for 1821, in what is probably its first printed form. This is his first such message given during his second term, devoted to commercial questions; concern over Florida, which had been annexed by the U.S. in 1819, but wherein France was interfering with American commerce; and the details of the final settlement with Spain over the Florida question and other boundary issues.
