184 CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON. 



Mr. Leland will do what he can toward finishing that volume of his 

 Guide to Materials in Paris which concerns manuscripts in libraries. 

 Mrs. Surrey may reasonably expect to finish her calendar of papers in 

 Paris archives relating to the history of the Mississippi Valley. Mr. 

 Matteson, part of whose time is always taken by other work than ours, 

 will do what he can toward finishing his inventory of American material 

 compiled from the printed catalogues of manuscripts in European 

 libraries. Dr. Paullin will continue his work upon the "Atlas of the 

 Historical Geography of the United States." 



TEXTS. 



Miss Davenport will progress with her second volume of treaties; 

 Dr. Burnett with the later volumes of his ''Letters of Members of the 

 Continental Congress," of which the Director expects to present the 

 second and third volumes for print during the year. Mr. Stock will 

 be given, as nearly as possible, unobstructed opportunity to proceed 

 with the editing of his Parliamentary materials. 



It is hoped that Miss Donnan may be enabled to spend the summer, 

 during the vacation of Mount Holyoke College, in further work upon 

 her collection of materials on the slave-trade. 



MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONS. 



The Department will no doubt maintain, in 1920, activities similar 

 to those which, under this heading, have been described above in that 

 part of this report which relates to the year now closed.
