Mitchell, Creek Indian agent.  Calhoun informs Mitchell that he can find no provision in the current appropriations for 3000 dollars promised to the Creeks in the Treaty of Fort Wilkinson (signed June 16, 1802).  He expects the sum to be added to the next year's annuity.  He further comments on the current annuity payment, under the Treaty of New York (signed August 7, 1790), and back payments for annuities under the Treaty of Washington (signed November 14, 1805) and the Treaty of Creek Agency (signed January 22, 1818).</dc:description><dc:description>Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.</dc:description><dc:format>text/html</dc:format><dc:format>image/jpeg</dc:format><dc:identifier>krc057</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:relation>Mode of access: World Wide Web.</dc:relation><dc:relation>System requirements: AT&amp;T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.</dc:relation><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:source>Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Keith Read, box 04, folder 07, document 01.</dc:source><dc:subject>Creek Indians--Treaties</dc:subject><dc:subject>Creek Indians--Government relations</dc:subject><dc:subject>Annuities</dc:subject><dc:title>[Letter] 1818 Oct. 16, War Dep[artmen]t [to] D[avid] B.
