Lewis and Clarke, the government thought it just to leave to them any pecuniary benefit which might result from a publi- cation of the papers, and supposed, indeed, that this would secure the best form of publication. But the property in these papers still remained in the gov- ernment for the be...nefit of their constituents.

After his death, Governor Clarke put them, in the first instance, into the hands of the late Dr. Barton, from whom some of them passed to Mr. Biddle, and some again, I believe, from him to Mr. Allen. While the MS. books of journals were in the hands of Dr. Barton, I wrote to him, on behalf of Governor Lewis' family, requesting earnestly, that, as soon as these should be published, th^ originals might be returned, as the family wished to have them preserved.
