• author: Love, John (d. 1822).
• notes: Herein, the new representative for Virginia's 9th congressional district explains his thinking on the foreign-affairs questions then facing the Congress, principally relations with Spain and Great Britain; Love avows that he makes this report because of the fundamental difference of opinion he held in contrast those of his predecessor, Philip R. Thompson, who declined to run for reelection in the 1806 election that brought Love to Washington.
  Sheet lacks colophon; as Love had been a practicing lawyer in nearby Alexandria (and would return to that practice after two terms in Congress), this letter likely issued there; however, his district was proximate to both Alexandria and Fredericksburg, meaning that this letter could have been printed in either place, so the indeterminacy here.
