| 36 | Author: | Anonymous | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Natchez, 1840
| | | | Dates: | 1840 | | | | Abstract: | This fascinating account of the Natchez was written in 1840 and appears to convey oral history of the time. The author begins by stating "it was with extreme difficulty we succeeded in procuring the information." The document is approximately 135 pages long and touches on the Natchez history and their "manners, customs, [and] traditions." The focus of the document is on their history, however, and much of the content was relayed to the author orally by the Natchez. There is an extended discussion of their beliefs and practices. The document contains biographical data on prominent members of the Natchez and other native peoples, such as Pushmataha.

| 38 | Author: | Unidentified | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Revolutionary War letter
| | | | Dates: | 1777 | | | | Abstract: | This long letter, dated January 6, 1777, discussed contentions within a Presbyterian Synod in Lonehead, Scotland. Although there may be some vague references to the American Revolution, the content of the letter is primarily aimed at the Synod and its policies. The letter criticizes the current minister and opposes the King's request for a fast day. Arguably, the opposition to the fast day could be interpreted as giving support to the American revolutionaries.
