Addendum

Abstract

THIS ADDENDUM addresses several questions regarding the physical disposition of the documents in the James Wilson archive at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and elsewhere: What is the provenance of the Wilson manuscripts? How did they come to the Historical Society and other Philadelphia archives? How did the current ordering of the Committee of Detail documents come about? Because these questions have not been addressed in printed literature and because they provide helpful and relevant insight for scholars interested in Wilson, I attempt briefly to say what is known about these matters.
