James Barbour's Address to Freeholders of 10th Congressional District.

• imprint_number: 1805.039
• title: To the freeholders of the Congressional district, composed of the counties of Spotsylvania, Louisa, Orange, and Madison, fellow citizens ... I take the liberty to advise you that I am ready to serve the district ... James Barbour, Orange, March 6, 1805.
• sequence_number: 39
• year: 1805
• place_issued: Fredericksburg
• issuing_press: Isham & Elisha Burch
• author: Barbour, James (1775-1842).
• notes: Sheet lacks colophon; Barbour was part of the conservative faction of the Republican party in Virginia; it is most likely that Fredericksburg was the place of issue, from its proximity to the district described and Barbour's known associations with merchants there; at this time there was only one Republican press operating there, that of brothers Isham & Elisha Burch, so the attribution here. Barbour was defeated in this election.
