Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was an American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, and Founding Father who served as the third president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. He had previously served as the second vice president of the United States under John Adams and as the first United States Secretary of State under George Washington. The principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, motivating American colonists to break from the Kingdom of Great Britain and form a new nation; he produced formative documents and decisions at both the state and national levels.

Thomas Jefferson document signed as President, countersigned by future President James Madison as Secretary of State. Four language ship’s papers allow the brig ”Sarah” to sail from the port of Philadelphia to Bilboa. The high seas were dangerous at this time, as the English often seized American ships, leading to Jefferson’s 1807 trade embargo and ultimately the War of 1812. Dated 18 June 1803, Jefferson signs in the English portion, ”Th. Jefferson”. With two red wax paper-backed seals intact. Document measures 20” x 16”. Small portions of paper loss and archival tape repairs to verso. Overall very good condition. Sold for $5,500.
