The proposal was so repulsive that
I did not answer Jed. He said a great

conceived to be my moralistic ideas.

We compromised with Morgan. jed

Isobel had been insistent. She had
been impatient Of any suggestion tina

Missouri n c had intention OF set

all by herself. The Session acts. state
of Missouri, 1S3s-1s39, contain a me-
mortal to the congress of the United
States relative to the Santa Fe trade.
II tells of an expedition Of traders
to Santa Fe in 1912 from st. Louis,
though IL is not specifically stated that
they went over the Santa Fe trail.
The early Session acts Of the Mis-
souri, legislature, starting In 1924, con-
tain many interesting resolutions and
memorials to congress on all manner
Of political and historical subjects.
incidentally the Missouri constitution
of 1870 starts with the preamble that
the citizens of the state agree to form
and establish a free and independent
republic by the lame Of the state Of
Missouri.
