On page 30 is quoted an extract from Jefferson’s inaugural address.
This pamphlet was sent to Jefferson by the author’s father, who wrote to him from Marblehead on October 27, 1801: “. . . I now send you, Sir, an Oration of my son; and should have sent it sooner, had it been in my power. He has wrote a book
of poetry, which art he must have derived from his mother, who has a good taste that way, and she from her great-grandmother,
Governor Bradstreet’s Lady. He is a Lawyer in Sterling near Worcester. His brother Mr. Bradstreet Story is in England on commercial
business. I have spared neither for cost nor pains upon them, and they amply repay me . . .”
Jefferson replied to the letter and acknowledged the receipt of the Oration on December 5.
Isaac Story, 1774-1803, poet and miscellaneous writer.
