United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Torrance, Mansfield1827-04-13Letter dated April 13, 1827, from Mansfield Torrance at Thomaston (Upson County, Georgia) to George M. Troup, Governor of Georgia (1823-1827), regarding the rental of Indian reserves. Torrance, the state's agent for the rental of said reserves, refers specifically to the reserve of an Indian named Chemolly (also Efau Emathla?). He mentions that such renting may not be explicitly permitted by the state legislature, but points out that often it is the intention of the legislature that is carried out, rather than the actual letter of the law. Torrance refers to the Lottery Act to demonstrate his point.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc504engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Telamon Cuyler, box 48, folder 15, document 01.Indians Of North America--Land tenure[Letter] 1827 Apr. 13, Thomaston, [Georgia to] G[eorge] M.
