Streeter, his sale Parke-Bernet Galleries, Inc. 1966, lot 152 First edition. "A group of Auguste Chouteau's fur trappers out of St. Louis were seized at Santa Fe and imprisoned in Chihuahua in 1811 or 1812.

The men were arrested for entering New Mexico from St. Louis without the appropriate passport: "In 1811 or 1812 [actually 1817], Robert McKnight, Benjamin Shrive, James Baird, Alfred Allen, Michael M'Donough, William Mines, Samuel Chambers, Peter Baum, Thomas Cook, and on - Miers, as their interpreter, and probably some others whose names I do not know, all citizens of the United States, of the Missouri territory went up the Missouri River, and from thence into the Spanish provinces; they were arrested and imprisoned by the authorities of that country, at Santa Fe, and from then till now, have been detained from returning to their families and homes" (letter from John Scott to Quincy Adams). Other documents include accounts of the conditions in which the upwards of 20 prisoners were held, and are signed by Adams, Luis de Onis and others.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
No Binding. Condition: Very Good. One page measuring 7.5 x 9 inches, both sides, dated June 18, 1794. Handwritten letter to James Monroe, who was about to leave for Paris as Washington's Minister to France, written at the height of Burr's power as a Senator from New York. In part: "You must have rec'd Mr. Prevost's final answer before you left Philad'a. He has the utmost sensibility to your goodness & politeness yet the possibility of remaining without resource, is a hazard which he thinks his circumstances will not warrant him to encounter: and from motives of delicacy he will not allow me to interfere in removing this embarrassment If you should be at any time without a secretary and should choose to receive him as such, he will cheerfully obey your summons. You will find me a very punctual correspondent and the more extensive the cypher is which you proposed to make, the more interesting may our letters be to each other a name which will occur frequently, had best be designated by two or three different characters I leave this wholly to you." He adds a postscript: "If you should find books cheap in Paris & bills on America can be sold, I shall trouble you or Mr. L. with large orders Report says that Miss Woolstonecraft is married if so, her credit on me ceases. I have been confined to my house almost wholly to my bed since I have been home by an increase of that complaint in the side which was in a less degree troublesome when we parted I mention it as an apology for so long a silence." In fine condition, with slightly irregular toning. In this fascinating letter between two of early America's most intriguing figures, Burr opens with a reference to a "Mr. Prevost," likely his stepson, John Bartow Prevost, who spoke French as a first language and would later become Monroe's South American commissioner. He goes on to suggest the use of a code for their correspondence during Monroe's time abroad an interesting facet of many diplomatic letters of the period, when 'nomenclator' codes were popular. Though it is unknown whether such cypher letters exist between the two, Monroe used a successful code which came to be known as 'Mr. Monroe s Cypher.' In his postscript, Burr makes clear his desire for inexpensive books like the other Founders, especially Jefferson, Burr was a voracious reader and collector of all manner of books and refers to some disillusionment with the 'mother of feminism' Mary Wollstonecraft, whom his family had greatly admired. This letter is discussed in detail by one of its previous owners, Douglas F. Rohrman, a former lawyer, collector of presidential and political letters, and vice president of The Manuscript Society in the article cited below, a copy of which is included. [Douglass F. Rohrman, "Aaron Burr, the Rising Star Who Would Fall Writes to the Venerated President to Be" in MANUSCRIPTS, Vol. 69, No. 4, (Fall 2017), pp. 321-333.].

unbound. 2 pages (front and back), 9.75 x 7.75 inches, Washington, October 2, 1817, marked "Private" to an unknown recipient, reaching out to the family of the late Vice-President and Signer Elbridge Gerry (who are almost destitute) by appointing his son Surveyor of Boston and remarking on his triumphant Grand Tour of New England, in small part: ".Young Mr. Gerry.on a belief that his education at Cambridge, and under Col. Austin, with whom he was studying law, at the time of the death of his father, qualified him for the office [Surveyor of Boston], being a young man of fair moral character. I own also that the situation of his Mother and sisters, the widow and daughters of the late Vice-President, who signed the Declaration of Independence and rendered other meritorious services in our revolution, has interested me in a very visible manner. They as I know, in great distress. He will be their prop and support, as I confidentially believe.Mr. Crawford will offer the surveyor ship.which is, I hear, vacant. I feel and shall be happy to.in any way, to make him render useful services to his Mother and sisters, so for as may be proper and practical." [Monroe proceeds to discuss the success of his Grand Tour.] "I returned here in good health, not withstanding the great fatigue, to which I was imposed in my late tour. I look back with great interest at the incidents attending it, and particularly at the strong proofs it afforded, that we were throughout the Union, one people. I trust that we shall always remain one." Tape stains and tiny holes along the center fold; some smudging to the ink on the first page, but still in very good condition.
