Imprint Record

Address of William Shelton to Freeholders of Louisa County.

  • Imprint Number: 1808.020
  • Title: To the freeholders of Louisa county. … March 3, 1808.
  • Sequence Number: 20
  • Year: 1808
  • Place Issued: Virginia
  • Issuing Press: Uncertain
  • Author: Shelton, William.
  • Notes: A circular letter in which Shelton offered himself as a candidate for one of Louisa County's two seats in the House of Delegates for the December 1808 Assembly; he was defeated in this attempt, but was elected as a delegate for the ensuing December 1809 session.
    Sheet lacks colophon; likely a Richmond imprint, given Louisa's proximity to the capital; however, many in that county employed Petersburg presses, so the indeterminacy here.
