- This is an account between Levi Sheftall, military agent in Savannah, and the state of Georgia from February 2, 1776 through April 4, 1776. Sheftall provided the Indians, including two men named Indian Billy and Sentianger, with supplies like rice, rum, pork, and salt. The account appears to be incomplete.
