CLARK TO JEFFERSON

LI. [From original MS. in possession of Mrs. Julia Clark Voorhis and Miss Eleanor Glasgow Voorhis.]

Fort Mandan, April 1st 1805

Sir—It being the wish of Capt. Lewis I take the liberty to send you
for your own perusal the notes which I have taken in the form of a
journal in their original state. You will readily perceive in reading over
those notes that many parts are incorrect, owing to the variety information
received at different times. I most sincerely wish that leasure had
permited me to offer them in a more correct form. Receive I pray you
my unfained acknowledgments for your friendly recollection of me in
your letters to my friend and companion Capt. Lewis, and be assured
of the sincere regard with which I have the honor to be your most Obt
& Humble Servt.

[Endorsed:] Copy to the President.
