United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Burney, Thomas J.1836-02-02This letter dated February 2, 1836 from Thomas J. Burney, in Madison, Georgia, to Governor William Schley (Governor of Georgia, 1835-1837) concerns a request from the Brigadier General of the Georgia Militia for 44 additional men from Regiments 29 and 41 of Morgan County. Burney tells the governor that the 44 men should all come from the 41st Regiment, as a company of men from the 29th Regiment was recently sent into duty. Burney asks the governor to relay this message to Colonel Charles R. Floyd and to ask if any men from the 29th Regiment will indeed be necessary. He also assures Governor Schley that the people of Madison are in support of his actions regarding "Indian difficulties," probably in reference to the Second Seminole War (1835-1842).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/jpegtcc552engMode 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 50, folder 04, document 05.Military assistanceGeorgia.
