Book Description
John Dill at Fort Gaines writes to Georgia Governor William Schley (1835-1837) on February 8, 1836, cautioning the governor against a military draft that is expected to take place in Clay and other nearby counties. The purpose of the draft is to muster troops for an expedition against the Seminoles in Florida (Second Seminole War, 1835-1842). Dill explains to Schley that the draft would significantly deplete the local male population, making the settlers vulnerable to Indian hostilities and possibly inciting slaves to revolt.

Book Description
This document consists of two letters, both dated May 27, 1836, from James Liddell to William Schley (Governor of Georgia, 1835-1837). In the first letter, Liddell thanks the governor for appointing him as a visitor to Franklin College (the University of Georgia), but regrets that he cannot attend classes because they conflict with his duties in the lower counties of the Cherokee circuit. In the second letter, Liddell describes a militia meeting in Jefferson in anticipation of the governor's orders to march against the Cherokees, who are expected to become militant (probably in relation to the ratification of the New Echota Treaty which negotiated their removal). Liddell also describes his recent trip from Fort Gaines (Clay County, Georgia) to Columbus, where he saw many families that had fled the trouble and confusion stemming from battles with Creek Indians across the border in Alabama.

This is a letter dated November 25, 1836 from Major E. Kirby to Governor William Schley (Governor of Georgia, 1835-1837) regarding some unpaid claims from (Major Marcus?) Huson. Kirby says that he has enclosed one of Huson's vouchers and asks the governor for help. Kirby also mentions two of the governor's own receipts that might contain errors. He goes on to tell the governor that the court of inquiry in Frederic (possibly Frederica, Glynn County, Georgia) has decided to first investigate the Florida campaign against the Seminole Indians and postpone discussion of the Creek war until General Thomas S. Jesup and others have returned from Florida. He suggests that the governor might want to attend the session on the Creek war.
