CORRECTIONS AND .ADDITIONS, VOLUME l Page 4, note 3, and elsewhere: Tennessee Historical Commission should be Tennessee Historical Society. Page 10, note 3: The dates of Joseph McMinn's term as governor of Tennessee should be, 1815-1821. Page 15, note 2, should read that William Kelly (not Kelley) was elected senator from Alabama "to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of John W. Walker." Page 16, note 5, errs in stating that John McKinley was senator from Alabama from 1835 to 1837. He served in the state legis- lature during that period. Page 18, note 4: The dates for John H. Eaton's service as senator from Tennessee should be 1814-1829. Page 74, note 2: Barbour was not Secretary of War in 1819. His dates in the War office are correctly given, page 139, note 4, as 1825-1828. Page 74, note 6, errs in stating that Andrew Jackson Donelson was the adopted son of Andrew Jackson. Page 110: The date of Houston's letter to the governor of Ohio should be April 18, 1.829. In the copy the 9 is easily mistaken for a 7.

Again the handwriting in the manuscript is deceptive. Page 134, note 3: Robert Crittenden (instead of John J. Crit- tenden) was the secretary, and frequently acting governor, of Arkansas Territory throughout most of its existence as a terri- tory. The authorities cited apply to John J. Crittenden, not to Robert. Page 197, line 4 of letter to James Prentiss: Swier County should be Sevier County. Page 199, note 4: Gerard Troost instead of Troosts. Also, Tennessee Historical Magazine, 1832, should be 1932. Page 231, note 2: James Phelan, the Tennessee historian, was born in 1856. The letter to which this note applies is dated June 2, 1832. Pages 298-299: Houston's proclamation, dated Nacogdoches 29th August, 1835, obviously refers to events of 1836, though dated 1835 in the source from which it was obtained. It should
