Thomas Jefferson Hand-Addressed Cover

Hand-addressed mailing panel circa 1794â€â€œ1799, measuring 9 x 7 open with a central panel of 4.5 x 3, addressed by Thomas Jefferson to "Henry Tazewell of the Senate of the US, Philadelphia." Docketed in another hand with Jefferson's name along the left edge. Matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 22.5 x 13.5. In very good to fine condition, with soiling and toning, a few small stains, and two areas of repaired paper loss. Tazewell represented Virginia in the US Senate from 1794 until his death in 1799, when Philadelphia was the temporary capital of the United States. A desirable piece connecting two politically influential Virginians.
