Executive Department Georgia Milledgeville
1st December 1817
To the Senate and House of Representatives
During the last week, I had the honor to receive a communication from the Secretary of State of the United States accompanied by a plat of the survey of the boundary line designated by the treaty with the Creek Nation of Indians concluded on the
9th of August 1814. --
By reference to the aforesaid plat, which is now in this office, the Legislature will perceive that the same difficulty relative to our Southern boundary, which has heretofore been the subject of complaint still exists.
The resolution of the last Legislature requiring the Governor of this State, to call on the National Executive, to cause the line between this State and the province of East Florida to be run and plainly markd. [marked] was communicated by my predecessor, on the
30th of January last; to which no reply has been received.

The legislature will therefore take such further order respecting this important subject; as they in their wisdom, may deem the most conducive to the interest of the State.
Respectfully submitted
[Signed] Wm Rabun
