1822 April 16. Revised

Lett. 18. Relinquishmt plan

V.1. 23 or 6.
Case V. Subjection uncontested;
hands possible purchasers foreign
money, purchase
money.
Narrow here the field
of chance: expectable
purchaser one only.
U.S. President
Requisites in the territory
capable of being
bid for, decided:
1. Contiguous to theirs
2. Retainable without addition
to expence, Islands
would not suit:
they would require
fleets and armies. President
would not object:
but his Constituents
would: viz. to be paying
for encreasing his patronage,
and rearing an
Aristocracy, headed
by him.

VI.2. 24 or 7.
Sole territories thus purchasable
– these between
Mississippi and Pacific.

25 or 8.
Of their disposition as
to the purchase of these, only from their
practice can judgment
be formed.
To such transactions
– in general no repugnance:
witness Floridas
& Louisiana – nor to the
giving money for territory:
witness Louisiana.

Lett. 18. Relinquishmt plan

VI.3 25 or 9
True, from territory
in the Pacific no advantage
equal to do. in the
gulph of Mexico.
But in their eyes some:
witness Columbia river.
Purchase money, sole
expence. Expence of internal
Government
inhabitants will gladly
pay, naming their own
functionaries. For their
defence against foreign
aggression, the name
of U.S. will suffice:
they are so much nearer
than any other power
that has the means of
aggression.
Russian attempt to
conquer territory there
by an Uhase, an object
of ridicule, not fear,
so manifest their everlasting
irremediable
debility there, at so many
months distance by
land from the capital and
all peopled provinces.
