Printed LS, boldly signed in ink as secretary of state, one page both sides, 8 x 10, July 1, 1805. A printed circular letter of the Consuls and Commercial Agents of the United States, containing a copy of the laws passed at the last session of Congress (March 4, 1804), in particular, an act in which it is provided “that no vessel shall be entitled to a register, or if already registered, to the benefits of, if owned wholly or in part by any naturalized person who shall have resided for one year in his native country, or two years in any other foreign country, unless such person be a public agent of the United States. As at the custom-houses of the United States not only registers but sea letters are refused to vessels thus owned, it has been judged expedient to instruct you equally to withhold from the certificates of ownership and of other facts, implying that the vessel is American property.” The circular also includes instructions concerning the discharge of seamen in the case of stranded or condemned vessels, “Doubts having been suggested whether in case of a discharge of the seamen in consequence of a vessel being stranded or condemned as unfit for service, three months extra pay is to be received by the consuls and commercial agents,” and request that newspapers, pamphlets and collections of facts regarding epidemical disorders and quarantine regulations be procured and transmitted to the Department of State. In fine condition, with three small punch holes to blank left edge, two horizontal mailing folds, and a few light creases. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
