Transcriber's notes:
Page 30 (026.png) - Left spelling of Missisippi as is in quoted letter
Index (026.png) - Corrected spelling of Breckinridge, John C. to match
correct spelling as in text (based on Internet search)
The name Rhys appears once in the text and once in the Index. In the print
copy, there is a carat over the y which is not included in this version.
The name Contrecoeur appears throughout the text with an oe ligature which
is removed for this version. Similarly OEdipus appears once herein without
the OE ligature.
