JOHN ARCHDALE The papers of John Archdale, the Quaker, Governor of North Carolina, 1694-6, were obtained by purchase, in 1915. The collection consists of sixty-five original manuscripts, con- temporary drafts and copies, pertaining entirely to Carolina affairs during Archdale's governorship and afterwards, dating from 1694 to 1706. Archdale's commission as Governor, dated November 28, 1694, is among them, and there are instructions and powers from the Lords Proprietors of Carolina ; Archdale's speeches to the legis- lature of the colony and their replies ; and copies of sundry legis- lative acts, including the one exempting Quakers from service in the militia. There is also an undated and unfinished draft by HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 27 ARENDTS Archdale of various measures taken by him, from the time of his arrival in Carolina, and a general account of his proceedings, from 1695 to 1704, in which various of his speeches, letters, etc., are quoted. There are a number of letters between Archdale and the Lords Proprietors, touching colonial management, the Indians, relations with the Spanish in Florida, lands, rents, etc. ; and the letters from Job Howes, J. Boyd, John Barksdale and others record the importance of the religious and naturalization questions in the struggling colony. There are a few letters of an important correspondence in 1696, with the Spanish governor of St. Augustine, relative to responsibility for Indian depreda- tions and maintenance of friendly relations. A group of docu- ments is composed of correspondence relating to the settle- ment of German Palatine refugees from the Rhine in North Carolina. Preparations began, apparently, as early as 1705, and the matter was under the control of what was called the High German Company of Thuringia, which addressed its letters to Archdale rather than to the Lords Proprietors. Among these papers is a long list of two hundred and twenty-eight queries propounded by the German Company, respecting Caro- lina, its climate, soil, laws and the rights and privileges of colo- nists, and a letter from the Company to Archdale, begging his influence to obtain, through the Queen, passports through Lune- burg and Hesse-Cassel for the Palatine refugees.

HARMAN BLENNERHASSETT The papers of Harman Blennerhassett acquired in 1900, from Mrs. Blennerhassett Adams, of St. Louis, Mo. Four portfolios of papers, and four small memorandum books make up the col- lection. The earliest paper is a schedule of title deeds of the house owned by Miss Avice Blennerhassett, sister of Harman Blennerhassett, dated 1755. The collection really begins in 1795, with letters of Blennerhassett to various English correspondents, and continues to October, 1866. The papers include: the papers written by Blennerhassett over the signature of " Querist," supporting the views of Burr, which were published in the Ohio Gazette, 1806 ; a statement of 42 LIBBAEY OF CO^^TGBESS. BOUDINOT disbursements made for Burr in that year; a memoir of the views and capacities of the United States, written by Blenner- hassett in 1822 ; some musical compositions by him ; a number of poems by his wife, Adeline Agnew Blennerhassett ; and 138 pages of matter waitten by Harman Blennerhassett, Jr., con- taining items bearing on the " Expedition," and much informa- tion gathered from his father. The papers after February 1, 1831, the date of Blennerhassett's death, are nearly all letters of his wife, though there are a few of Harman Blennerhassett, Jr., and a younger son, Joseph Lewis Blennerhassett. Among the correspondents were Mordecai and Joseph Lewis, of Philadelphia ; Dudley Woodbridge, Allan Griften, Edmund Randolph, Luther Martin, Henry Clay, M. L. Davis, Vincent Nolte, Sir Robert Peel and Lord Bathurst. The Journals consist of notes kept by Blennerhassett for his wife. They cover the period of his confinement and trial in Richmond. They begin July 20, 1807, and continue to November 20 of that year. Many details of Burr's trial are included in them, ALEXANDER BLISS AND WILLIAM DAVIS Eight parchment diplomas of university degrees and admis- sions to practice before the New York Supreme Court, 1846- 1852, were the gift, in 1911, of Miss E.

Among the letters to Boudi- not are several from Sir William Howe and Joshua Loring. Boiidinot's reports to the Board of War contain interesting items regarding the condition of American prisoners at New York and elsewhere, and the charges upon which they are held. The " Returns " show the number of prisoners held in confine- ment in New York at various times during the war. A number of petitions from prisoners are alsf included. SYLVANUS BOURNE The papers of Sylvanus Bourne, of Massachusetts, and of William Taylor, Jonathan Meredith and John White, of Balti- more. The affairs of these men were so interwoven that their papers form practically one collection. Sylvanus Bourne's papers form the most important though not the largest group. They comprise 34 portfolios and some 500 or more folders of manuscripts. The period covered is from 1774 to 1854 inclusive. Sylvanus Bourne was of Barnstable, Massachusetts. He was in business for some years, and then became United States Con- sul at Amsterdam, a post he retained for many years. The early portion of the collection contains much of political interest. The later letters are from the various consular offi- cers in European ports, giving news of the depredations com- mitted on American commerce, and information on the various measures showing the policy of Great Britain and Napoleon toward America and American trade. The letters from America have current political news. There are also many drafts of let- ters and papers from Bourne's own hand, including memorials to the Dutch Government -and despatches to the Department of State, letters to other consular offices and to merchants. Among the letters to Bourne, the series from other consuls is, perhaps, the most notable. The following will give some idea of its extent: John Appleton, Calais (7) ; Lawson Alexander, Rotterdam (30) ; Richard Codman, Paris (31) ; George Rix 44 LIBEAKY OF CONGRESS.

Eustis, Thomas H. Perkins, William B. Wood, Henry Wheaton, William H. Winder and Fulwar Skipw^ith. The 46 letters of William Vans Murray, Minister to Holland, in this collection, are supplemented by 30 additional letters of Murray to Bourne, purchased in 1904 and now form- ing part of the Murray collection. A number of letters relating to prizes in the War of 1812 and later ; letters to Bourne from members of his family ; and a small package of applications ad- dressed to the Directors of the Baltimore Library Company, in 1843, complete the correspondence. There are about 700 forms, accounts, advertisements and Dutch papers. Other items are a memorandum book, of the year 1794; a List of American Vessels Arrived at the Port of Amsterdam in 1809; and several miscellaneous broadsides re- lating to merchant vessels during the War of 1812.

Among them are manuscripts of Edmund Randolph, Tobias Lear, John Quincy Adams and Thomas Jefferson. There are also a number of prints of Gen- eral Washington. The album was also purchased in 1903. JOHN LEEDS BOZMAN This collection, consisting of three bound volumes, is com- prised of papers of two families prominent in the history of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. ^ HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 45 BOZMAN John Leeds Bozmau, (1757-1823), historian of Maryland, lived near Easton, in Talbot County. He left his papers to his nephew, John Leeds Kerr, who was a Representative in Con- gress, 1825-1829, and 1831-1833. From him they passed to his son, John Bozman Kerr, jNIember of Congress, 1848-1850. The papers of these three men make up the bulk of the collection, and it was from a descendant of the latter, Mrs. John H. K. Burgwiu, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, that the papers were acquired by the Library, in 1909. This part of the collection begins in 1730 and continues to 1856. It consists almost entirely of correspondence. The earliest letters are those of John Leeds and John Bozman, 1730 to 1750. After them come the letters of John Leeds Bozman, John Leeds Kerr and John Bozman Kerr. Among the early writers were : Arnold Elzey, Nicholas Goldsborough, Benjamin Richardson, Jun., and John Lloyd. There are drafts 'of many of John Leeds Bozman's own letters, and letters to him from William Tudor, Jr., of Boston, and Edward J. Coale, the Baltimore printer. Among the correspondents of John Bozman Kerr were Isaac Edwards Morse, C. S. Storrow and Isaac Appleton Jewett. A portion of the collection of a distinctly different character consists of the mercantile papers of Daniel Richardson and his wife, Ruth. From 1711 to 1722, the year of his death, Daniel Richardson was engaged in trade with merchants in Philadelphia and London. There are numerous letters and accounts of William Fishbourne and Ennion Williams of Philadelphia, and a number of invoices of goods imported from England. Ruth Richardson settled her husband's estate, and there are many letters and accounts in that connection as late at 1729. Copies of early wills, inventories, and land records of the Leeds and Richardson families, 1688 to 1710 ; a list of the fees received at the port of Oxford, Maryland, 1765 and 1766, giv- ing a list of ships and the dates of their arrival ; manuscript copies of speeches delivered by Luther Martin and James Mc- Henry, in 1787, in the Maryland legislature, about the proceed- ings of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. 46 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. BRECKINRIDGE JOSEPH BRANT Letter addressed to Moses Cleveland, Director of the Con- necticut Land Company, June 6, 1796, regarding Indian lands. BRAZIL (See South America.) BRECKINRIDGE PAPERS These papers, the gift, in 1905, of Miss Sophom"sba Preston Breckinridge and Mr. Desha Breckinridge, children of the late Hon. William C. P. Breckinridge, of Lexington, Kentucky, form one of the largest collections now in the Manuscript Divi- sion. A conservative estimate would place their number be- tween twenty-five and thirty thousand. They were collected by William C. P. Breckinridge from a variety of sources, and were arranged by him as his time permitted. His . constant occupation in the public service prevented his completing this task. The collection in the main consists of the papers of John Breckinridge (1760-1806) ; John Breckinridge, his son (1797- 1841) ; Robert Jefferson Breckinridge, another son (1800-1871) ; and William Campbell Preston Breckinridge, son of Robert, (1837-1905) ; and in addition to these there are papers of many other members of the family and its connections. John Breckinridge the elder was an early settler in Kentucky, the friend and correspondent of Jefferson, member of the State Legislature, the proposer, if not the framer, of the Kentucky resolutions of 1798, United States Senator from Kentucky, and Attorney General in Jefferson's Cabinet. Robert Jefferson Breckinridge was for some years in political life, but later became a clergyman and one of the leaders in the Presbyterian Church. His correspondence is extensive, and covers his pas- torates at Baltimore, at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, where he was President of Jefferson College, and at Lexington, Ken- tucky. William C. P. Breckinridge served in the Confederate HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 47 BROADSIDES Army, and was long a Representative in Congress from the State of Kentncl^y. The correspondence contains letters of Tliomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Marshall, James Monroe, Colonel William Preston, Archibald Stuart, Humphrey Marshall, Samuel Paine, Robert Dunlap, T. G. Polk, John J. Crittenden and many others. The collection is not yet open to investigators, owing to cer- tain restrictions placed by the donors upon the use of the papers. BRITISH TRANSCRIPTS (/S'ee Library of Congress Transcripts.) BROADSIDES The collection comprises 150 portfolios and 57 bound volumes, exclusive of the Continental Congress imprints, theatrical play- bills, unbound songs, carrier's addresses, etc Many of them were received with the Peter Force Library in 1867, and had apparently been collected by Ebenezer Hazard. The broadsides in the portfolios are arranged chronologically by imprint. . ^ _ , The extent of this collection may t)e indicatecl by using one or two of the countries and states as examples. The'broadsides of Great Britain comprise seven portfolios, covering from 1644 to 1863. Those of Mexico comprise six portfolios, from 1792 to 1840. The United States collection consists of fifteen portfolios, from 1788 to 1900. Of the individual states, the broadsides of Connecticut, 1622-1900, occupy four portfolios ; Delaware, 1732- 1904, one portfolio ; Kentucky, 1790-1879, two portfolios ; Mary- land, 1732-1869, three portfolios; Massachusetts, 1676-1901, twenty-one portfolios ; New Hampshire, 1725-1899, six portfolios ; New York, 1693-1890, twelve portfolios ; Oregon, 1847-1910, one portfolio; Pennsylvania, 1683-1870, eight portfolios; Rhode Island, 1663-1891, four portfolios; Tennessee, 1814-1891, two portfolios; Texas, 1834-1884, one portfolio ; Virginia, 1739-1860, eight portfolios. Other states are proportionately represented. 48 LIBRAEY OF CONGRESS.

Much of the second letter book, 1816 to 1827, is taken up with correspondence with the Secretary of War, but there are many letters to other individuals upon army affairs in general. The earlier letters, 1816 to 1821, deal particularly with the northern division of the army. A long memorandum of the tribes of Indians in the Northwest, in 1819, gives the names of tribes, chiefs, number of warriors, number of souls, residence, and their mode of life and occupations.

The latter part of this trip he took as a member of Aaron Burr's expedition. At Marietta he be- came acquainted with Blennerhassett. There is much regard- ing the expedition, its defeat and dispersion, and the subsequent suspicion under which Brown labored because of his connection therewith.

After the death of William Temple Franklin [in 1823] the papers were for some years in the possession of his landlord, a tailor, in London, who disposed of them, some thirty years back, to Mr. Henry Stevens, where they have since re- mained."

Dwight, 16 December, 1880.] In 1880 an announcement of the intended sale of these papers at auction in London was made by the executors of Charles Whittingham, to whom they had been pledged as security by Henry Stevens. The public sale was postponed, and the entire collection was purchased at private sale by the United States Government, in 1882. From that date until their transfer to the Library of Congress, by Executive Order, in 1903, they were deposited in the Bureau of Rolls and Library of the Department of State, where the diplomatic records from the collection are still retained. The portion of the collection which came to the Library is known as the " second series." It is mounted in fourteen folio volumes, each document being numbered, 1-3500.

SAMUEL AND JOHN GALLOWAY With the books and papers of Samuel Galloway and John Galloway, merchants of Maryland, came the papers of Francis Markoe and Virgil Maxcy, forming a continuous series. 136 • LIBEAEY OF CONGRESS. GALLOWAY ' - The Galloway papers consist of 37 portfolios of correspond- ence and other papers, 1738-1820, and some 75 volumes of ac- counts and miscellany, 1718-1812. In 1738 Samuel Galloway was established as a merchant at West River, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He exported tobacco and imported merchandise, and carried on an extensive correspondence with London merchants. At one period he crossed over to London and remained several years, returning in 1756. During his absence, his business affairs in Maryland were looked after by his brother, Joseph Galloway, who later became prominent in Pennsylvania as Speaker of the Assembly and Tory member of the Continental Congress. Upon his re- turn, Samuel Galloway lived on the estate of Tulip Hill, which Francis Markoe afterwards occupied, and later at Annapolis. John Galloway, a son of Samuel, removed, about 1775, to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, taking over and conducting the. business of Thomas Ringgold, of Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland, upon the death of the latter. The books and papers in connection with this business form the greater portion of the collection. Another member of the Galloway family, many of whose papers appear, was Benjamin Galloway. The early correspondence of Samuel Galloway with Humphrey Adams, Sylvanus Grove and other London merchants is volumi- nous. John Galloway and Thomas Ringgold continually kept each other informed as to prices and trade conditions on both sides of the bay, and later, when John Galloway removed to the Eastern Shore, he carried on a similar correspondence with his father. The letters of Benjamin Tasker, jr., furnish infor- mation about trade in the Patuxent River section. Letters of the Baltimore firm of Chew and Cheston are also numerous. Letters are from members of the Chew, Ringgold, Tilghman, Dulaney, Howard, Cheston, and other prominent families. The letters from Philadelphia in particular are full of comments upon political events. Among the writers may be mentioned Chief Justice Benjamin Chew, of Pennsylvania, Colonel Samuel Chew, of Herring Bay, HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 137 GALLOWAY Maryland, John Chew, of Dover, in Delaware, Joseph Earle, James Holliday, Jesse Hollingsworth, Mrs. Margaret Howard, wife of Colonel John Eager Howard, Edward Tilghman, Richard Tilghman, jr., William Lux, Thomas Van Dyke, Kinsey Johns, Henry Ridgely, John Ridout, Daniel Crawford and Christopher Hughes. The books in the collection begin with a folio letter book of a London mercantile lirm, Gilbert Higginson and Robert Bird, 1718 and 1719. The letters are addressed to their correspond- ents in Maryland and Virginia. There are only two other letter books, one of John Galloway, of West River, 1737-1738, and the other of Samuel Galloway, 1766-1771. The account books comprise a series of twenty-four paper- bound volumes of accounts, invoices, day books, etc., of Samuel and John Galloway, at West River ; a series of fifteen or more ledgers, journals, waste books and balance and invoice books of John Galloway, at Chestertown, 1772-1812; and a series of books dealing with the settlement of the estates of Thomas Ringgold, in 1775, Samuel Galloway, in 1785-1786, and Joseph Galloway, in 1803-1804. Several miscellaneous volumes are included in the collection. Among them are two books of levies against members of St. Anne's Parish, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 1764-1766, in which the names of Samuel Chase and Charles Carroll, of Car- rollton appear ; an account book of " Conococheague Manor and the adjacent Preserved Land ", 1772 ; a pedigree book of the " Belvoir Stock Farm," 1775-1787. The only letters or papers of Joseph Galloway, the Tory, are one or two of his letters addressed to his brother Samuel, dur- ing the latter's sojourn in London, about 1750, and the small book of accounts kept by his nephew John during the settlement of his estate, in 1803-1804.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON The General Act for the Civil and Diplomatic Expenses of the Government, passed by Congress, August 12, 1848, (9 Stat: 4, 284) included a provision for an expenditure of $20,000 for the purchase of the papers and manuscripts of Alexander Hamilton, and $6,000 additional for printing and publishing the whole or any part thereof, as the Joint Committee on the Library might direct. By an Executive Order, the Hamilton Collection was trans- ferred to the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress in June, 1904, It was card-indexed by Mr. Worthington C. Ford. The papers are mounted and bound in 84 folio volumes. All, or nearly all, of Hamilton's important public documents, — the reports and pamphlets — are contained in it, as well as his articles for the press. The bulli of the material is correspondence received. In 1799 Hamilton accepted the commission of Inspector Gen- eral of the Army, More than half of the collection is made up of papers written during this period. In point of number, the letters of James IVIcHenry rank first. There are more than one hundred letters of George Washing- ton. Fisher Ames, George Cabot, Edward Carrington, Robert Goodloe Harper, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, Rufus King, Lafayette, Henry Lee, Richard Kidder Meade, William Vans Murray, Timothy Pickering, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Ed- mund Randolph, Theodore Sedgwick, Baron Steuben, Major L'Enfant, Benjamin Stoddert and Oliver Wolcott are all repre- sented by a number of manuscripts. For use in his Report on Manufactures, when Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton gathered material pertaining to the numer- ous industries which were being established. In connection with his reports on the Mint, the Establishment of a Bank, and the 158 LIBKARY OF CONGRESS. HAMILTON Tariff, there are notes on coinage, on the weight of specie in various countries, on architectural arrangements for a Mint, and a series of trade reports. In a twelve-page letter, Thomas llan- dall reports upon trade conditions in China and the East Indies for example. The correspondence from the commanders of the various mili- tary posts on the w^estern frontier to the Inspector General consists of frequent letters and reports from Visscher at Oswego, Rivardi at Niagara, Hamtramck at Pittsburgh and General James Wilkinson at Natchez and other points on the Mississippi. Those of the latter are full in details regarding the Mississippi country. The military papers of the Provisional Army period contain a number of military treatises, which were prepared under Hamilton's direction. There are complete lists of officers, both for the " Provisional " regiments and the four regiments of the regular army ; and the correspondence contains much personal information regarding the applicants for commissions. The collection comprises in all about 8000 documents, dating from 1760 to 1830. Of these, about 2500 are letters and papers by Hamilton; the remainder, with the exception of about 175 army rolls, etc., represent the correspondence and papers ad- dressed to him. The collection was added to in 1916 by a gift from Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, of Great Barrington, Mass., of the purely personal papers of Alexander Hamilton, 475 pieces. These in- clude 250 letters to Hamilton, among the writers being Gen. Philip Schuyler, Elisha Boudinot, Jeremiah Wadsworth and members of the Livingston family. There are 50 letters ( includ- ing drafts of letters) from Hamilton, of which 22 are to his wife, including the last two he wrote her before the duel. Fifty other letters neither to nor from Hamilton relate chiefly to legal cases in which he was concerned. The remainder of the personal papers are accounts, receipts, school exercises, papers relating to the settlement of his estate, and a few mis- cellaneous documents. There are two folio account books cover- HANDBOOK OF MANUSCBIPTS. 159 HAMMOND iiig Hamilton's law practice up to his death. The personal papers are in four portfolios and have a card index.

McCLELLAN The papers of General George Brinton McClellan, presented to the Library, in 1911 and added to in 1916, by his son, Hon. George B. McClellan, of New York City. This collection embraces the entire body of papers, letters, letter books, despatch books, note books, and memoranda, which accumulated during the years of General McClellan's active life. The correspondence and other unbound manuscripts have been mounted and bound into 109 volumes. There are in addition some 95 volumes, of all sorts and sizes, in their original bindings. Practically the collection begins with the year 1842, though there are one or two manuscripts of an earlier date, notably a letter of Madison, written in 1783. The first letters of Mc- Clellan are written from West Point, during the years 1842 to 1846, and are addressed to his mother, and to his sister, Mrs. T. C. English. His valedictory speech as President of the Dialectic Society, at West Point, is also among the papers of this period. The letters to his mother and sister continue throughout his stay in Mexico, and there are additional letters of a similar HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 233 McCLELLAN character to his father and other members of the family. Let- ters from Col. J. G. Totten, from the Adjutant General's otRce, and numerous Executive Orders and circulars relate to military operations between Vera Cruz and Mexico City. There is a let- ter of Captain Robert E. Lee, in 1848, conveying an order of General Butler, directing McClellan to repair with his company to West Point. A private journal, 1846-1853, contains many notes and sketches of fortifications, etc., taken in Mexico. There is also a notebook of the year 1846, and a cash book, 1847-1848. In 1852, McClellan was on an exploration on the Red River, and later was Engineer in Charge of an expedition in Texas. In the year following, he was on engineering duty in Ore- gon and Washington, part of the time as constructing engi- neer on the western division of the Northern Pacific Rail- road. Letters of this period are from R. B. Marcy, Persifor F. Smith, J. D. P'oster, Isaac D. Stevens, B. Alvord, Charles E. Mix, George Gibbs, J. R. Giddings and Columbia Lancaster. There are a letter book covering this period, and several notebooks, among them one, containing notes on fortifications, etc., and a Comanche alphabet, kept by J. F. Mintner, at Fort Vancouver, July-Oct, 1853. As a member of a military commission, appointed to study the operations of both nrmies in the Crimean War, McClellan was sent to Europe in 1855. He gathered material for a report which was afterward published by Congress. The notes on cavalry instructions and tactics are particularly full. The interim between 1857 and the outbreak of the Civil War is illustrated by routine business letters written as President of the St. Louis, Missouri and Cincinnati R. R., some local Ohio items, and by letters from Winfield Scott, E. D. Townsend and William Dennison. The early years of the Civil War furnish the largest propor- tion of papers to this collection. There are letters of Lincoln, Stanton, Cameron, McDowell, Banks, Buell, Burnside, Halleck, Marcy, Barnard, Ingalls, Sumner, Weeks, Meade, Tucker, Van i 234 LIBEAKY OF CONGRESS.

ROBERT McCREADY {See Journals and Diaries, 1778.) HUGH Mcculloch Three portfolios of correspondence, deposited, in 1913, by his daughter, Mrs, Louise McCulloch Yale, of Sparkill, N. Y. Though the earliest letter is dated 1855, the collection in reality begins in 1863, at the time he entered upon his duties as Comptroller of the Treasury ; and the succeeding years of his connection with the Treasury Department in that office, and later as Secretary are recorded in these letters. After 1869, there are but few papers, though scattered letters as late as 1894 are included. The letters to McCulloch far outnumber those written by him, though there are a number of the latter, addressed to S. P. Chase, Morris Ketchum, J. M. Forbes, Charles Sumner, Robert C. Winthrop, John Sherman, C. B. Farwell and others. The subjects of finance, currency, the reduction of the national debt, and the tariff, form the contents of most of the letters; other matters, however, such as Reconstruction issues, and the enfranchisement of negroes, are discussed. There are several letters regarding the assassination of President Lincoln, and a letter from Mrs, James G. Blaine, written after a visit to the bedside of President Garfield, shortly before his death. Many congratulatory letters are included in the papers of 1865, the year of McCulloch's appointment to the Cabinet, and numerous communications from the President, in the hand of his secre- tary, are among the papers of the succeeding years.

DOROTHY PAYNE MADISON The papers of Dolly Madison were deposited in the Smith- sonian Institution, whence they were transferred to the Library of Congress in 1866. In 1909 they were augmented by the pur- chase of some 900 miscellaneous pieces. The collection covers a period from 1800 to 1851. The papers deal in the main with family matters pertaining to Mrs. Madi- son's financial transactions, and those of her son, John Payne Todd. There are a few papers relating to the settlement of the estate of Col. William Madison; an inventory of the pictures, statuary and other household furnishings at Montpelier; also three small pass books, running from December 4, 1843, to April 13, 1846, containing Mrs. Madison's accounts with E. Sinims, Grocer. The greater part of the collection is made up of correspondence. It comprises many drafts, written by Anna Payne, Mrs. Madison's niece, for Mrs. Madison, and by Mrs. Madison herself; and a still larger number of various communi- cations to Mrs. Madison. There are numerous letters to and from her son, John Payne Todd, and her nephews and nieces. The earliest letters are from Anthony Morris, of Philadelphia, and his daughter, Miss Phoebe P. Morris.

There is a bound volume of the National Gazette, with Madison's Essays in it. Five volumes are of printed mat- ter, being pamphlets, circulars and broadsides which Madison collected. The papers to and from Madison are separated. Twelve volumes are of writings of Madison, and sixty-three volumes of the writings to Madison. The letters of Madison run from 1796 to 1836; those to him from 1723 to 1845. They cover every phase of his career.

HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 259 MERCANTILE ACCOUNTS, MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA One hundred and eighty-one volumes of ledgers, journals, in- voices, day books and cash books form the collection known as "Maryland and Virginia Mercantile Accounts." They cover the period from 1753 to 1834, setting forth the transactions of several large firms, which, by a system of branch stores, supplied the sections on both banks of the Potomac River. The first of these firms was that of John Glassford & Co., of Olasgof,' Scotland. Neil Jamieson was connected with it They established branch stores at Quantico and Dumfries, in Prince William County, Virginia; at Colchester, in Fairfax County, Virginia; at Leonardtown, St. Mary's County, Maryland; at Newport, Charles County, and at Bladensburg, Prince George's County, Maryland. Near the beginning of the Revolution the firm name was changed to Glassford & Henderson, and addi- tional stores were opened at Boyd's Hole and Alexandria, on the Virginia side, and Port Tobacco, Benedict, Piscataway and Nottingham, in Maryland. About 1790, Alexander Henderson, Robert Ferguson and John Gibson, trading under the firm name of Henderson, Ferguson & Gibson, had charge of most of these stores, and it was probably at this time that the trade passed out of the hands of the Scotch merchants and into the control of local owners. The store at Leonardtown, however, was, in 1793, still in the hands of Findlay, Hopkins & Co., of Glasgow. From 1800 to 1816, approximately, Vincent & Ferguson carried on the bulk of the business. About the latter year, it passed to John Edelen and William Thompson, acting partners of Wil- liam Vincent, John Ferguson, John W. Wills, John Edelen and William Thompson, trading under the name of Edelen, Thomp- son & Co. Under this name the business was continued to about 1834. There are no books for the years 1777 to 1784, inclusive, and in other places the set is badly broken. The dates lettered on the backs of the volumes are often misleading, however, and 260 LIBRAEY OF CONGRESS.

MORSE The collection dates from 1793 to 1872. Before 1805 there are seven juvenile letters of Samuel F. B. Morse and his brother Edward to their parents. Most of the letters up to 1814 are family correspondence. A lar^e part of the entire collection consists of letters passing between the various members of the family, especially between Samuel F. B. Morse and his parents. Tlie period spent in England studying painting contains a few letters from Washington AUston and many from Charles R. Leslie. Tlie correspondence with the latter continues through- out the collection.

Gale for securing foreign patent rights on the tele- graph are among the papers, as is the correspondence concern- ing the struggle for recognition and pi'otection in Europe with drawings of instruments submitted in connection with patent rights in France.

CHARLES SIMMS The papers of Colonel Charles Simms, of Virginia, Major and Lieutenant Colonel in the Revolutionary Army, and, later an attorney at law and Mayor of Alexandria when it fell into the hands of the British, in 1814. He was also President of the Potomac and Shenandoah Company for a number of years. The collection is in eight portfolios. The papers commence with the year 1765, though there is one paper — a grant of land in Prince William County, from Lord Fairfax to James Carter — dated 1731. The last papers are of 1820. Before the Revolution he made a trip to the Ohio, and, in connection with John Nevill and John Harvie, took up land on one of the islands in that river. The litigation which followed furnished many of the papers which compose the collection. In 1776, he was commissioned as Major in the 12th Virginia Regiment, and served until December, 1779, when he returned to Virginia, where he married Nancy, daughter of William Douglas. Many of his letters are to her, written from camp in 1777 and 1778, and contain descriptions of battles and camp life. Legal papers form a large part of the collection, after the Revolution. There are many papers pertaining to the affairs of the Potomac Company, and regarding the establishment of the District of Columbia. There are also papers relating to bank transactions, from 1797 to 1816. The letters of Simms to his wife during August and Sep- tember, 1814, give full accounts of the capture of the tow^ by . the British troops, and of the movements of the armies around Alexandria and W^ashington.

In addition to the copies of the Washington diaries, are volumes of memoranda, personal account books and those of the Mount Vernon estate, from the year 1747, with lists of his slaves and servants, his memoranda of surveys, etc. ; copies and abstracts of wills of various members of the Washington family, and appraisements and inventories of their estates; correspondence from relatives and others. As before stated, most of the material was copied from the col- lection in the Department of State [now in the Manuscript Divi- sion of the Library of Congress] but a portion came from other sources, among them the collection of Joseph Henry Dubbs, D. D., from which transcripts were made of the accounts of Colonel William A. Washington with Mrs. Martha Washington, and letters addressed to Colonel William A. Washington, Robert Beverley and others, by Bushrod Washington and Lawrence Washington, 1802-1834. Also a letter of George W. P. Custis to Anthony Kiswell, 1850, regarding Washington's compass.

TRANSCRIPTS FROM FOREIGN ARCHIVES British Transcripts: In 1905 the Library undertook to procure transcripts of rec- ords existing in European archives which relate to the early history of the United States. The work was begun in the British archives, by obtaining transcripts from records in the British Museum and the Public Record Office in London, and the Bodleian Library at Oxford. The papers were selected chiefly by Professor Charles M. Andrews, now of Yale Uni- versity. Since beginning the work a list of the transcripts received each year has been published in the annual report of the Li- brarian of Congress. The Andrews and Davenport " Guide to the Manuscript Materials for the History of the United States to 1783, in the British Museum, in Minor London Archives, and in the Libraries of Oxford and Cambridge," Washington, D. C, 1908, contains a list of the documents which, prior to that year, had been transcribed from those sources for the Library. The " Guide to the Materials for American History Prior to 1783, in the Public Record Office of Great Britain, by C. M. Andrews, in two volumes, Washington, D. C, 1912 and 1914, contains similar lists ; but much material has since been added, and the selection has not been confined to the contents of these volumes. The sources from which transcripts have been drawn are as follows : I. Oxford, The Bodleian Library; Ashmolean, Clarendon, Rawlinson and Tanner collections. II. British Museum ; Cottonian, Egerton, Hargrave, Harleian, King's, Lansdowne, Sloane and Stowe collections; Additional Charters; and Additional Manuscripts, including Hardwicke, Hyde, Mitchell and Newcastle Papers.

IV. Fulham and Lambeth Palace Libraries. The collection now totals about 185,000 folio pages, which are contained in 325 portfolio cases. The card catalogue now in course of preparation gives the name of the writer and receiver' of each letter or document copied, and the source from which it was copied, with the number of the portfolio case in which the transcript is deposited.

French Transcripts: The work of systematically obtaining transcripts from official manuscripts in the archives of the French government, relating to the history of colonial America, was entered upon, in 1913, under the immediate supervision of Mr. Waldo G. Leland, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The transcripts thus far received are chiefly from the Archives Nationales, Paris, Colonies Series C^^ A; selections from volumes 1 to 46, inclusive, covering dates from 1686 tb 1766. This series consists mainly of letters, memoires and reports on various matters, from the governors and other high officials in Louisiana, to the Compagnie des Indes, to Antoine Crozat, and to others in France in charge of colonial affairs, from the founding of the colony to its cession to England and Spain. The letters relate to all matters of administration, to settle- ment, boundaries and fortifications, to provisions and munitions, to Indian affairs and missions, to the natural products of the country and the exports and imports, to the character of the colonists sent from France and Canada, and to the disagree- ments and struggles for precedence among colonial officials. Among the writers of the letters are Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, and his brother, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville II, better known as Iberville and Bienville; Nicholas de la Salle ; Diron d'Artaguiette ; Philippe de Marigny HANDBOOK OF MANUSCBIPTS. 445 TRANS.

UNITED STATES REVOLUTION "American Manuscripts. Revolution. 1779." One volume of transcripts. It was probably acquired from a sale of the papers of Thomas Aspinwall, at Boston, in 1879. It consists of : Instructions from the War Office to Sir Henry 'Clinton re mili- tary affairs; correspondence of Sir Henry Clinton with Lord Amherst, Lord George Germain, and Charles Jenkinson, His Majesty's Secretary at War ; also with General Washington, con- cerning flags and exchange of prisoners, of Sir Guy Carleton and Lord Robert Bertie, and of Sir Henry Clinton and General Haldimand— all In 1779. Miscellany : Nine bound volumes of papers, of a highly mis- cellaneous character, but all relating to the Revolution, 1775- 1783. They were acquired from many different sources — chiefly, however, from the Peter Force purchase in 1867 — and were in the Library when the Manuscript Division was organized. The first seven volumes comprise private and official letters, reports, returns, pay rolls, enlistment sheets and papers relating to claims. Volumes 8 and 9 are chiefly composed of returns and lists of Hessian prisoners confined at Lancaster, Pa., many of the lists being prepared by the German officers. With them are complaints of ill-treatment, letters of protest, and others per- taining to the management of prisoners of war. Some of the papers are Continental Congress papers; some are transcripts made by Peter Force. Examples: Letter of Franklin, Bollan and Lee, February 5, 1775, relative to the petition to the King ; list of the troops in Boston, 1775; Gage's answer to Trumbull, May 2, 1775 (copy) ; Ethan Allen to Montgomery, September 20, 1775 ; Dunmore to Gage, November 30, 1775; several other Dunmore letters; a number of pay rolls — of Captain Boardman's men, January 15, 1776, for instance ; a provision book, Kittanning, September 18, HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 491 U.

'' WASHINGTON BUSHROD WASHINGTON , Three letters to Bushrod Washington, dating 1816, 1824 and 1826 from Lafayette, Richard Peters, jr., and Smith Thompson. Purchased, 1916. See under Marshall, John, for other letters to Bushrod Washington. GEORGE WASHINGTON The Washington papers were purchased from the Washington family in two separate lots, by- the Acts of June 30, 1834, and March 3, 1849, and deposited in the Department of State. They were transferred to the Library from the State Department by Executive Order of March 9, 1903, under authority of the Act of February 23, 1903, and combined with the Washington papers already in the Library, acquired with the Force purchase. The papers have been carefully repaired and when bound will fill 302 royal folio volumes, besides about 100 volumes of letter copy- books, diaries and account books in their original bindings. The papers were first arranged in 1780, by Richard Varick, Washington's Recording Secretary. He caused to be copied the letters written by Washington, the proceedings of the councils of war and the general orders of the Commander in Chief, from July 3, 1775, to December 31, 1782. These copies, in 44 folio volumes, are known as the " Varick Transcripts." The original drafts from which the copies were made were tied up with the unarranged letters received by Washington, packed in chests, and, with the volumes of transcripts, carted to Mt. Vernon at the close of the war. They were added to, at the close of Washing- ton's administrMtion as President, by various letter-book records and miscellaneous loose files of political business, and a mass of documents growing out of the military activities in raising and ofl[icering the provisional army in 1798 and 1799. A portion of them, which in later years was stored in a warehouse in Alexandria, was destroyed by fire. '■' After the papers came into possession of the Government, the drafts of Wasliington's letters were bound up, as classified by HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 513 WASHINGTON Varick, under the direction of Jared Sparks. He made an alphabetical index, which furnishes a working basis of consulta- tion of the larger part of the letters received. In the general series of letters to Washington were grouped the army returns and muster rolls of the Continental forces, forming Nos. 99-108 inclusive of the collection, and amounting to 37 volumes as ar- ranged by Peter Force in 1834. These were transferred by the State Department to the Adjutant General of the Army in the War Department, and are still in the custody of that department. Although arranged in strict chronological order the papers naturally group themselves under three heads.— the military, political, and (the largest) the personal and private papers. The personal papers begin with the earliest writings of Washington, at the age of twelve, and end with the diary entry of December 13, 1799. The early papers are school exercises, copies of busi- ness forms, rules of etiquette, mathematical problems, survey notes, etc. The financial and personal business papers begin about 1750, and are full as to accounts, expenditures, credits, in- voices of goods ordered from England, tobacco and weaving ac- counts of the Mt. Vernon estate, cash memorandum books, the poll list of Frederick County and the vestry lists of Fairfax and Truro, lists of tithables, etc. The diaries begin with the journey across the western moun- tains in 1747, and, with some gaps, come dow^n to the date of his appointment as Commander in Chief in 1775. It appears that no diary was kept during the war and an attempt commenced in May, 1781, was abandoned in November of that year. The diary record is resumed again in 1784. The total number of original Washington diaries in the possession of the Government is 36 and the last one ends with the entry, which is presumed to be his last writing, of Dec. 13, 1799. The letter books, drafts of letters and miscellany of a personal character were discontinued in June, 1775, resumed in 1784, and continue, with some gaps, through the year 1799. From 1789 to 1797 the personal correspondence is less than for other periods. 71794°— 17 33 614 .^.i LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. ' WASHINGTON From 1794 to the end the letter book record is supplemented and often duplicated by the press copies, of which there are many. There is much correspondence, during his administration as IM'csident, with managers and overseers, relative to the Mt. Vernon estate; but a part of the official correspondence of this period is still in the Department of State by virtue of its charac- ter of an official administrative record. The military group begins with the French and Indian War, the Braddock expedition, orders, letters, instructions, muster rolls, returns, financial accounts of the Virginia militia forces, etc., down to and through the year 1758. The Revolutionary group begins with the speech to Congress, June 16, 1775, accepting command of the army, and ends w^ith the speech at Annapolis, December 23, 1783, when he resigned his commission. There are lists of discharged officers, proceed- ings of boards of officers, negotiations for the exchange of prison- ers, accounts and vouchers of headquarters expenses, etc. The last distinct sub-group under the military papers are the papers relative to the Provisional Army of 1798-9, which is, in the main, lists of names from which to appoint officers; lists which contains many names of former officers of the Continental army, with interesting notes of personal qualifications and Revo- lutionary services. The third main group of the Washington papers is the politi- cal. Colonial politics, pre-Revolutionary activities in Virginia, and papers relative to Washington's short service in the Conti- nental Congress, are closely allied to the personal group. The prominent political affairs properly begin with Washington's in- auguration as President in 1789. The ma.ior portion of the papers from 1789 to 1797 are in the form of folio record copy and letter books, being letters to the War Department, letters to and from the Treasury Department, messages and communi- cations between the President and the two houses of Congress, the miscellaneous or general correspondence. These record books are supplemented by press copies and drafts, which are not, however, numerous until after the year 1794, and in some HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 515 WASHINGTON instances duplicate the copies entered in the record hoolvS. There are complimentary and political addresses or documents, sometimes partaking of the nature of protests or memorials, the observations, extracts, summaries, memoranda, etc., in Wash- ington's autograph, of various of the political problems of his administration, and copious summaries of conditions, together with opinions from members of his cabinet upon certain matters submitted to their consideration ; and a journal of the proceed- ings of the President 1793-1797, which is a sort of diary of offi- cial action taken upon the documents and, letters submitted to his consideration. This is the collection known as the Washington I'apers. Other Washington manuscripts are in the I*apers of the Continental Congress, the Alexander Hamilton papers, the Jefferson, Madi- son and Monroe collections, the Theodorick Blai\d papers, the Rochambeau papers, and a few in the Benjamin Franklin and John Paul Jones papers. The Library of Congress has issued calendars of the miscella- neous Washington manuscripts (from the Peter Force purchase) that were in its custody prior to the transfer of the Washington papers from the State Department (Washington, G. P. O., 1901), 1 volume, and of the latter papers, a calendar of the Washington correspondence with the Continental Congress (Washington, G. P.

DANIEL WEBSTER ' The greater part of the Webster Papers was left to the New Hampshire Historical Society by Peter Harvey ; a portion, how- ever, had been given to George Ticknor Curtis as material for the preparation of his life of Webster. The latter were after- wards kept in Mr. Curtis's house in New York City. He allowed Charles P. Greenough of Boston to make selections from them and the latter examined about two-thirds of the collection when the balance was removed to IVIorrell's warehouse where it was destroyed by fire. Mr. Greenough sold nearly all the remaining papers to the Library of Congress in 1903 and since then he has, from time to time added letters to the collection by gift. In its present form the collection comprises some 2500 pieces mounted in four volumes, dating from 1804 to 1853, and two portfolios of unbound papers, dating from 182G to 1852, There are letters re- lating to Webster's early life, correspondence with his brother HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPTS. 519 WEBSTER Ezekiel Webster, with John Davis, Isaac Parker, Jereniiali IVIason and Josiah Quincy. Later the field broadens with let- ters passing between Webster, Cass, Clay (15 letters between, 1826-7), Frelinghuysen, Rush, Stephens, Sumner and Wirt. They show the feeling throughout the country towards the administrations of John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, the development of the anti-Masonic movement and Webster's attitude thereon. Many letters show the feeling aroused by Webster's remaining in President Tyler's cabinet in 1841. In the diplomatic correspondence may be noted five letters of Lord Ashburton in July, 1842, and 18 of Sir Henry Bulwer, Jan-July, 1851. There are many letters on legal matters especially from William Wirt, B. F. Perry, George E. Badger and by Webster himself. There are about 80 letters of W^ebster in the entire collection, and a number of letters each from the following: Lord Ashburton, D. D. Barnard, Nicholas Biddle, Henry Bul- wer, Calderon de la Barca, Lewis Cass, Henry Clay, John Davis, Edward Everett, Millard Fillmore, Joseph Hopkinson, James Kent, Abbott Lawrence, Josiah Quincy, Jared Sparks, Charles Sumner, Waddy Thompson, John Tyler, Baron WoUen- stein, Fletcher Webster and Noah Webster ; and one or two letters from each of the following: John Barney, D. M. Bar- ringer, Rufus Choate, DeWitt Clinton, Charles P. Curtis, Nathan Dane, Joseph Fagnani, Duff Green, William Henry Harrison, Christopher Hughes, Washington Irving, John Jay, Reverdy Johnson, Francis Lieber, John McLean, Benjamin Rush, Richard Rush, Lord Selkirk, John Sergeant, John O. Spencer, Peleg Sprague, W. B. Sprague, Alexander H. Stephens, George O. W^ashington, J. W. Webb, Thurlow Weed, Lord Wharncliffe, C. A. W^icklifCe, Elisha Whittlesey and William Wirt. The earliest letter, dated March 18, 1804, is from Webster's brother, Ezekiel Webster. Included also are numerous invitations to banquets, political meetings, to deliver addresses, etc. In addition to this collection of original manuscripts there are two portfolios of typewritten copies of the Webster Papers in the New Hampshire Historical Society. These wer« the gift, 1914, of C. H. Van 520 -^T' LIBRARY OF COKGRES^i. WELLES Tyne of Philadelphia.

At various times since, he has added material to this original deposit. The Welles diary is among the papers.

Among the cor- respondents are the following : W. H. Aspinwall, J. F. Babcock, Montgomery Blair, C. C. Cambreleng, S. Church, N. M. Dyer, H. W. Faxon, J. W. Forney, J. A.
