- Letter from Abb. L. Hatton, of Telfair County, Georgia to Governor of Georgia Peter Early (1813-1815), dated April 26, 1814. Hatton informs Early that, in accordance with his orders, he has successfully removed settlers who had crossed an unnamed river to settle on Indian land. A man named Frederick Jackson, however, has insisted on remaining and Hatton warns that unless the governor sends further orders prohibiting settlement across the river, several families will follow Jackson's lead.
