Documentary History of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1789-1800 MAEVA MARCUS, EDITOR CHRISTINE R. JORDAN, ASSOCIATE EDITOR NATALIE WEXLER, ASSOCIATE EDITOR MARK G. HIRSCH, ASSOCIATE EDITOR STEPHEN L. TULL, ASSISTANT EDITOR Mr. Edward C. Papenfuse State Archivist and Commissioner of Land Patents Maryland State Archives Hall of Records 350 Rowe Blvd., Annapolis, MD Dear Ed: Supreme Court of the United States Room 14 Washington, D. C. 20543 (202) 479-3256 January 10, 1990 21401 in my I enclose the record of Barron v. Baltimore from RG 267 at the National Archives. I hope that it will be of some help to you. I apologize for the delay. I have been on a research trip England for two weeks. When I returned the file was waiting on desk. That you were able to locate the notes of arguments before the Court of Appeals is very exciting. I would love to know more about what you have found and what was said. I have a friend who is interested in doing a TV series on great American and British law cases. I met with her when I was in London and learned that they are still looking for more American cases from which to chose. They only want 18th and 19th century cases right now, and because the format is to be dramatization rather than documentary they want cases that have a record of the arguements. They are particularly interested in cases which were the first exposition of a legal doctrine that we now consider a foundation of our justice system. An early attempt to extend the due process clause of the 5th amendment to protect property rights from a state taking might just fit the bill. Please let me know if you would like to pursue this further. I am happy to have been of help. RECEIVED Very truly yours, Ot«*o
