Octr. [October]  2nd 1816 
His Excellency D. B. Mitchell - Sir, 
I take leave to Inform you that the citizens of Georgia are setling [settling]  the Indian Land adjacent to the Ocmulgee & the Altamaha to an alarming degree as a large proportion of them are Vagrants, fugitives from Justice or some other crime attached to their character which makes civil government disagreeable; I think If your Excelancy [Excellency]  wou'd [would]  Issue your proclamation Commanding them to Remove from off the Indian land amediately [immediately], I wou'd [would]  save the Shedding of Bood [Blood]   
I pray your Excelancy [Excellency]  to accept the assurance of my Esteem  
 
[Signed] M Hardin
