Minutes, 1838-1839.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32414071

The series contains a handwritten copy of minutes of the Constitutional Convention of 1838 from December 3 to December 26, 1838. The last page stops in the middle of a sentence. It appears that this copy of the minutes was never completed. The minutes from December 27, 1838 to January 9, 1839, when the convention adjourned, are not included in this copy. The location of the original minutes, if still extant, is not known. The minutes reflect the debate on stringent banking rules and the pro-slavery sentiments of the delegates, most of whom were planters and lawyers.
