- This is an account between Levi Sheftall, military agent, and the state of Georgia from March 10, 1776 to March 19, 1776. The account itemizes the provisions Sheftall provided for various Indians in the state; among these items are rice, pork, beef, and rum. The account mentions several Georgia military officers such as Major John Habersham. This document appears to be incomplete.
