Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Purchase Exploration of Louisiana HE two documents now first printed in this vol ume have been for nearly a century in the cus tody of the American Philosophical Society. The first is a paper written by Thomas Jefferson while Presi dent of the United States, which gives a summary of the various claims of France, Spain, and England to territory in the Mississippi Valley, and lays down the boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase. The original of this paper, in Mr. Jefferson's own hand, was de posited by him in the archives of the Society in Phila delphia, where it still remains. The second is the manuscript known to historians as the Dunbar Jour nal, the importance of which has been generally re cognized, though but few have had access to it. The Journal was kept by William Dunbar of Natchez, on a voyage of exploration which, in company with Dr. George Hunter, he undertook by direction of the President in 1804, as a part of Mr. Jefferson's states manlike plan to survey the vast new territory just' coming into the possession of the United States. This: manuscript was presented to the Society by Daniel Parker, Adjutant and inspector-general, U. S. A., on the 18th of July, 1817.
