Jefferson’s copy was sent to him by the author, who wrote from Iredell County, N. Carolina, on December 5, 1801: “Permit me the honour of presenting to your Excellency a copy of a brief history of the Mississippi Territory, which I have
lately published. The appendix will apologize for the brevity of the work.
"It is not sent for any supposed degree of merit which it displays; but as my worthy friend, the Comptroller of the United
States, informed me, that the history of the territory is but little known, even at the seat of government, I flatter myself
that the transient view given in the work may afford to your Excellency some gratification.
"Should the business of your very important Nation admit, your observations, as a naturalist, on my theory of hail would be
highly desirable . . .”
James Hall, 1744-1826, was born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, but went to live in Iredell County, North Carolina,
