Description An account of the resource Clark writes his brother Jonathan from St. Louis complaining that they don't hear very often from their Kentucky family and fears they are being forgotten. He mentions how scattered the family is at this time and wishes they all were together. Violence between settler colonists and Indigenous people have been active east of the Mississippi, but they are tranquil west of the river. He mentions Native American delegations that have recently visited. He fears that The Prophet and his followers are stirring up trouble and need to be dispersed.
