United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Carnes, Thomas Petters1803-01-13Letter from Judge Thomas P. Carnes to Edwin Mounger, Georgia state treasurer, dated (incorrectly) January 13, 1802. Carnes requests payment for his salary and indicates that the funds should be delivered to Colonel Harris. He also makes reference to an expedition into the Cherokee Nation. A note on the back of the letter by Mounger, the recipient, reveals that the January 13, 1802 date is incorrect since the expedition referred to did not take place until December 1802. Mounger notes that the correct date of the letter is January 13, 1803. It is unclear why Carnes had travelled into the Cherokee Nation.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/jpegtcc865engMode 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 74, folder 01, document 02.Georgia--Appropriations and expendituresCherokee IndiansVoyages and travelsJudges--Salaries, etc.--GeorgiaLetter, 1803 Jan. 13, Clarksboro[ugh, Georgia to] Edwin Mounger, Louisville, [Georgia] / Tho[ma]s P.
