United States, Southern States, 33.346678, -84.1194341823-04-25Letter dated April 25, 1823 from the Cherokee Council to (U.S. Commissioners Duncan G. Campbell and James Meriwether ?) in response to a communication from these commissioners. The Council considers the commissioners' plea to repeal a resolution which disallows further land cession so that the commissioners can meet with the Council in Taloney and proceed with further negotiations. The Council responds in the negative, stating that the resolution was made to promote the interest and happiness of the Cherokee people and that no meeting will take place in Taloney because the seat of government is in New Town. A lengthy extract from the commissioners' letter follows which sets out arguments for the Cherokees to agree to further land cessions and remove west.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegch067engManuscript held by the The Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, TN, State Library Cherokee Collection, box 3, folder 5, document ch067.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Cherokee Indians--Land tenureCherokee Indians--Relocation[Letter], 1823 Apr. 25, near Fortville, Cherokee NationText
