Abstract:
The papers consist of correspondence, maps and documents relating to two delegations led by John Coffee to negotiate with the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. The first delegation (in 1829) was to gather information on a Cherokee and Creek boundary dispute. Two autograph letters, signed, from Secretary of War Lewis Cass and one retained copy of a letter from Coffee to Georgia Governer John Forsyth describe this mission. Two manuscript maps (stored in a portfolio) document the disputed Cherokee boundary lines. A related memorandum summarizes Cherokee and Creek boundary treaties. Coffee's second mission (in 1831-1832) was to negotiate with the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations regarding "emigration," as outlined by two autograph letters, signed, from Cass and one autograph letter, signed, from John Eaton (former Secretary of War who led the negotiations with Coffee). The Chickasaw reaction to these negotiations is documented by two letters: one from sixteen members of the Chickasaw Nation protesting plans for removal, and one from tribal leader George W. Long relating to plans for Chickasaw people to remain. Other documents include records of expenses incurred by Coffee and Eaton during the mission. The papers are accompanied by a pamphlet about and photograph of John Coffee's tomb.

Ten scenes at Hamhŭng and ten more scenes of the northern borders of Korea. Nam Ku-man (南九萬, 1629-1711), when posted to Hamgyŏng Province as governor between 1671 and 1674, selected a set of ten scenic spots of Hamhŭng, and another set of ten scenic spots of Kwanbuk, native place of the founding king of Chosŏn, and had a painter paint the scenes, subsequently pairing each painting with his own prose on the 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng' and the 'Ten Views of Kwanbuk.' Today, the original paintings with his text written on them are not extant. However, the theme was popular until the end of Chosŏn period and many copies of them were produced. This album is one of the examples, the album of 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng' and 'Ten Views of Kwanbuk.' The paintings show the topography and the landmarks representing each of the ten scenic spots, such as fortress walls and military and administrative facilities. On the upper part of each album leaf is the transcription of Nam Ku-man's prose. This corresponds with the style of the works, 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng' and 'Ten Views of Kwanbuk' in the collection of the National Museum of Korea done in the 18th century. However, the elements in the paintings in this album are rendered more simply and are mannered in style. The album has an inscription added by Chongsan (鍾山). It says he came to Hamhŭng in early spring in 1882 and appreciated the album, 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng,' in the collection of Hyanggyo (鄉校), the local county school. He, thus, asked T'oegyo (退校) Na Wŏn-sŏk (羅元石) to make a copy of the paintings, and bound them into an album. This figure by the name of Chongsan has not been identified, but one of the candidates could be Hong Ki-ju (洪岐周, 1829-?), who was appointed to the post of judge of Hamhŭng in January, 1882. and 그림의전래과정과설명이있음.
