Benton, Thomas H. Jan. 8, 1831 Digital
Scope and Contents
Letter from Missouri Senator Benton (1782-1858) to an unnamed recipient requesting that the official in charge of United States census returns send him a report of his state's population. "A mere memorandum will do, showing the total of whites, and of slaves," he writes. The 1830 census began in June, and because of delays on compiling returns, the filing date was extended to August 1, 1831.
