This is Barry's retained carbon of a letter
he wrote to John N. Kinney, Supervisor of the Salmon National Forest, in
1932. Barry was trying to pin down the site of an "eighty acre
bottom" that Clark passed through on August 22, 1805, in the Salmon
River country. Barry kept carbon copies of many, but not all, of
the letters he wrote. The journal entry to which Barry refers is found
on page 154 of Volume 5 of The Journals of the Lewis
and Clark Expedition, ed. by Gary E. Moulton (1988).
