I've always been charmed by Thomas Jefferson's instructions to Meriwether Lewis in preparation for the Lewis & Clark expedition.
It is such a clear bit of writing, meant to cover every contingency of a totally unknown situation.
You can read the letter here: Jefferson's Instructions to Meriwether Lewis.
I've since read that others have found this letter equally intriguing and it is often held up as an example of good management.
