Container	Title
	Series: 12 J (Volume 12) Scope and Content Note: Draper notes and correspondence on selected topics pertaining to Clark's later years: his part in a proposed French revolutionary expedition against the Spanish in New Orleans in 1793, his relationships with Congress and the Virginia General Assembly, his health, and his death. The volume contains a few earlier manuscripts. A letter (February 17, 1793) by Thomas Paine to James O'Fallon discusses the reception by the French government of Clark's proposition for the Louisiana expedition. A few pieces, including one original letter (1805) by William Clark to William Croghan, concern the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific. In a letter (1810) to William Croghan, John Croghan opposed the use of Clark's papers by Joseph H. Daviess. Among the other manuscripts by Clark's contemporaries are: a letter (1799) by Buckner Thruston to John Coburn concerning claims incurred by the French expedition; a personal letter (1789) by Charles De Pauw to Francois Charleville: and three letters (1812-1813) to William W. Worsley, one by De Pauw and two by Isaac Shelby.
