I am trying to figure out if this is authentic or a reproduction. It is dated Friday night 11 o"clock., October 2, 1835. It has creases which makes me think it was folded up and stored somewhere. As you can see, it is very dark brown. The paper is not thin and it looks like there is no printing on the reverse side. It has weight of stock paper.
You have a reprint made on paper made precisely to represent "antiqued paper" - the line on the very bottom identifies the item and was not on the original - here is what an original would look like;
