- This is a letter dated June 11, 1842 from James Fulwood to Charles J. McDonald, Governor of Georgia (1839-1843) stating that the governor's allowance of 2500 dollars for the maintenance of Captain Aaron Jernigan's troops had been received. Fulwood warns the governor that, given the high prices of supplies, the amount will not support the troops for very long. Fulwood also asks for permission to pay for some purchases made by Captains Jernigan and Johnson before his arrival. He ends the letter by telling the governor that they have not been bothered by any Indians in the area.
