- Letter dated November 10, 1813 from John Atkinson, Job Tison, Allen B. Powell, W. Knight, and Samuel Piles to Georgia Governor Peter Early concerning the appointment of an officer to serve in the frontier counties of Camden, Glynn, and Wayne. Having heard that Early intends to send troops to those counties to protect the frontier settlers against Indians, the authors recommend Major John Hardie to head the militia since he is familiar with the area and has had experience fighting Indians.
