“PIKE PAPERS.”  On subjects other than Indian, extant manuscripts written and received by Albert Pike are exceedingly numerous.  One collection of his personal papers is in the possession of Mr. Fred Allsopp of Little Rock; but the largest proportion of those of more general interest, as also of more special, is in the Scottish Rite Temple, Washington, D.C., under the care of Mr. W.L.  Boyden.  Three things only deserve particular mention; viz.,

a.  Autobiography of General Albert Pike.  A bound typewritten manuscript, “from stenographic notes, furnished by himself.”

b.  Confederate States, a/c’s with.  These papers are in a small file-box and are chiefly receipts from John Crawford, Matthew Leefer, Douglas H. Cooper, John Jumper, and

others for money advanced to them and vouchers for purchases made by Pike.  There are three personal letters in the box:  D.H.  Cooper to Pike, July 28, 1873; William Quesenbury to Pike, August 10, 1873; William Quesenbury to Pike, August 11, 1873.  All three letters have to do with a certain $5000 seemingly unaccounted for, a subject in controversy between Pike and Cooper, reflecting upon the latter’s integrity.  One of the papers is an itemized account of the money Pike expended for the Indians, money “placed in his hands to be disbursed among the Indian Tribes under Treaty stipulations in January, A.D. 1862.”  It contains an enclosure, the receipt signed by Edward Cross, depositary, showing that Pike restored to the Confederate Treasury the unexpended balance, $19,263 10/100 specie, $49,980 55/100, treasury notes.  The receipt is dated Little Rock, March 13, 1863.

c.  Choctaw Case.  Two packages of papers come under this heading.  One is of manuscript matter mainly, the other of printed matter solely.  In the latter is the Memorial of P.P.  Pitchlynn, House Miscellaneous Documents, no. 89, 43d congress, first session, and on it Pike has inscribed, “Written by me, Albert Pike.”
