Notes
Sheet lacks colophon; most authorities attribute this letter to an unnamed Washington press based on dateline and the fact that the first session of the Fifteenth Congress did not adjourn until April 20, 1818; yet, over the course of his political career, Smyth regularly used presses in Richmond, Staunton, and Lexington from a distance; so attribution here to an unknown Virginia press.
