 tor in the person of Mr. W. R. Garrett, Ph.D. They 

 are appearing in the "American Historical Maga- 

 zine," at Nashville, Tennessee; the first instalment 

 appeared in January, and the second in April, 1896.

 where this work is needed; and it could not render 

 a better service to the study of American history 

 than by printing these Robertson papers.

 called my attention to the Knox Papers, in the ar- 

 chives of the New England Historical and Genea- 

 logical Society, of Boston. These papers are of 

 great interest. They are preserved in a number of 

 big volumes. I was able to make only a most cur-

 great kindness went carefully through them, and 

 sent me copies of those which I deemed important. 

 There are a number of papers referring to matters 



connected with the campaigns against the Western
