- This document is a letter, dated April 23, 1788, from Peter Stubblefield, Commissioner of Issues, to George Handley, Governor of Georgia (1788-1789). Stubblefield writes that he has been unable to find the four men wounded by Indians in Washington, Wilkes County, Georgia, for whom he was to furnish provisions.
