Head Quarters Etowah 
July 7th 1832. 
Governor Lumpkin 
Sir; 
The men sent out, (pursuant to your instructions;) to assertain [ascertain]  the progress the surveyors are making have all returned. I have the honor of inclosing [enclosing]  you the reports of such as have not completed their labours [labors], or, will complete them in a short time; except the 3rd. and 13th. districts in the first section. from the best information I am able to obtain, I expect those gentlemen will not finish their districts before  
september. The land districts are all completed, or will be in a verry [very]  short time, except the 19th in the 1st. Section, a small fractional district. The two gentlemen surveying the 4th. will proceed in a short time to the 19th and completed as early as possible. say in all the month of  
August. should your excellency be of opinion that the public interest will be promised by drawing the land lottery as early as the middle of  
September, by convening the commissioners, and letting them prepare the tickets of such districts as are completed, I think you may calculate confidently that the last will be finished by the time the commissioners should want them.  
 
I have the honor to be most respectfully your Obdt Servt. [Obedient Servant]  
[Signed] Jno [John]  Coffee.  
To His Excellency Wilson Lumpkin.
