McHenry says that from the information that he has received he has no reason to believe that the Indians will greatly oppose the running of the boundary line or otherwise do anything to threaten the frontier inhabitants near the line. To support his belief, he cites a reply sent from James Seagrove in response to a talk from Methlogee (?), which he says should appease all the Indians.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/jpegtcc770engMode 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 06, folder 06, document 01.Indians of North America--Government relationsBoundaries[Letter] 1799 Aug. 13, War Department, [to] James Jackson, Governor of Georgia, Louisville, [Georgia] / James McHenry, Sec[re]t[ar]y [of] WarText
