Eratta and notes from The Gazette 1839 Peru

It reports on Indian payments of 60000 dollars to Miami Indians, court adjournments, a fatal rifle accident at Mexico, the Avnora Boreallis phenomenon, a giant rattlesnake, and Kentucky political delegations. A lengthy letter rebuts Joseph Holman, condemning his canal plans and integrity, urging better sourcing for future communications.
