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.

Book Description
William J.W. Wellborn at the executive office in Milledgeville writes to Georgia Governor William Schley (1835-1837) on June 19, 1836 to update Schley on recent communications and transactions, particularly those related to arms shipments. Wellborn explains that he sent arms to Floyd and Walker counties and will send a shipment to Cherokee County shortly. He tells Schley that he responded to a letter from General Hemphill that pertained to Indians, but Wellborn believes that there is little danger imminent, except to citizens of the lower territory that borders Alabama. Colonel (Charles H.?) Nelson's position is discussed with regard to the end of what he refers to as "the Creek War" and the "difficulties with the Cherokees". Nelson reported to Wellborn that he heard of the ratification of a treaty (possibly the Treaty of New Echota, 1835) in the Forsyth Court House. This letter is related to a later letter tcc582 from Wellborn to Schley.

Book Description
Augustus Crawford of Madison County writes to Georgia Governor William Schley 1835-1837) to report on the status of volunteer troops in the county. He discusses resistance among some citizens to report for service, but assures the governor that most are eager to serve. According to Crawford, approximately 150 volunteers are available for service in the Cherokee Nation or the Upper Creek territory; however, they prefer not to be sent to Florida to fight the Seminoles, especially during the warmer months. Crawford mentions that the Seminole leader Osceola "out-generaled" both Winfield Scott and Duncan L. Clinch. The original enclosure is no longer attached.
