Letter from William Clark to Jonathan Clark, 22 January 1807
Description
Clark writes his brother Jonathan from Washington, D. C., reporting on activities there and his flattering treatment in wake of the successful return of the expedition.

He concludes by intimating that he might return to Louisville engaged as he has an "object in mind."
