Thomas Jefferson four-language ship's paper signed as President, dated 7 October 1801. Document, translated in English, Spanish, French and Dutch, permits the brig Hope to pass from New Haven to Martineco under the command of Daniel Morris. Jefferson signs ''Th: Jefferson'' to middle of partially printed document, with Madison's signature, ''James Madison'' underneath. Measures 17'' x 22''. Some toning along folds and a few places of archival reinforcement to verso. Very good plus.
