United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Forsyth, John, 1780-18411825-03-05This document is a letter from John Forsyth, U.S. Representative from Georgia, to George M. Troup, Governor of Georgia (1823-1827), dated March 5, 1825. Forsyth reports to Troup on the delinquent receipt of an unnamed treaty with the Creek Indians (probably the Treaty of Indian Springs, signed February 12, 1825) and indicates that the President and the House of Representatives had not had time to make the necessary appropriations. He discusses the anticipated positive outcomes of the treaty (later nullified and deemed fraudulent), and remarks on the general efforts for Creek removal. Forsyth further comments on the possible influence of this treaty on Cherokee removal.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/jpegtcc735engMode 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 03, folder 29, document 01.Creek Indians--TreatiesCherokee Indians--RelocationTreaties--RatificationLetter, 1825 Mar. 5, Washington, [D.C. to] G[eorge] M.
