Spring 1805
Dear Mr. Jefferson,
The journey was the Corps at its best. The journey was America at its best. most of the members definitely came through on helping us to cross the country. There were very few who did not quite pull their own weight. I think that America at its best is the Core of Discovery. I think letting a black slave and a 16 year old Indian girl vote in the year 1805 is America at its best. I think that the way Lewis and Clark treated the Indians is America at its best. I think that just the idea of two 35 year old men crossing the country in canoes is America at its best. I think the fact that two 35 year old men did cross the country is America at its best. now think of the best thing you have ever done and that is America at its best.
Signed T.J. Lewis
P.S. for my weekly labors, discoveries... for all my endeavors have brought this journey. I believe I should be paid the grade of an A.

Dear TJ,
Thank you so much for your hard, hard work all along the river. You could always be counted on go not only be discovering and exploring, but reporting back in interesting ways. Pictures . . . food . . . . You are such a well-respected and caring member of your Corps. They couldn't have made it west without your work and your spirit.
Your final did a good job of giving examples as to why you felt the journey was America at its best. I wish you would have added a little more about how the journey was the Corps at its best. Still,good job.
I looked and looked and plugged and replugged your paygrades into the calculator, but your Final Pay still comes to:$B+.
Great job.
Love,
(Captain) John
