Is it a copy created by the duplication “thingy” that Jefferson came up with? I saw it when I toured Monticello. I believe the thingy was called a facsimile, but only made one copy at a time while the writing was being done. Outside of that I think most copies were done by hand.

Thanks! Probably should not post beyond two glasses of pinot grigio. But it is home-made and sooooo good!

Most likely it is a typset version. Many thousands were printed at that time and distributed widely. Still and all very rare if authentic!
