of Information respecting the Time, the Manner of 

 travelHng and what might be necessary to render such 

 a Journey fruitful! to my Views — as well as your Per- 

 sonal Information of the discoveries you have made in 

 Ornithology, in that part of America — My Intention 

 is to Visit the country around New Orleans as far 

 East as the Florida Keys, then ascend Red River, and 

 to go to the Hot Springs — thence across to the Ar- 

 kansas and Come down [it] to its Mouth where on My 

 return to Cincinnati at present My familly Residence 

 — yet My Plans are alterable as advised by Gentle- 

 men of more Experienced 



Should your Excellency contemplate any expedi- 

 tion upon Your River and I was sufered to Join it, I 

 would be anxious to Meet any Wishes my Humble 

 talents Could afford at any time — 



With Hopes that your [Excellency] will not be dis- 

 pleased at the liberty I have here taken
