claims under the acts of Congress of 1812 and 1824 now in the custody of the State of Missouri
at Jefferson City, are exceedingly full and rich in historical facts concerning the early settlements
of St. Louis and the State of Missouri, not elsewhere accessible to the public. Said minutes also
contain the evidence of title to large and numerous tracts of land throughout the State, and your
petitioners believe it would be a great public benefit to have said Minutes and accompanying
documents published, and the undersigned therefore ask the General Assembly to authorize their
publication on such terms as to them may seem best, and as in duty bound will ever pray &c.”
