 Description: Sir—In response to your letter, I have to advise you that the text of the Declaration of Independence (the original MS.) as signed by the delegates, reads, at the point of your inquiry—“unalienable rights”, while the text of Jefferson's MS. draft, as amended in committee by Franklin and Adams, reads “inalienable rights”. The latter is the paper printed in Ford's edition of Jefferson's Writings, in fac simile.
