United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Few, William, 1748-18281791-01-15This is a letter dated January 15, 1791 from William Few, a Senator from Georgia, to Governor Edward Telfair (Governor of Georgia, 1786-1787 and 1790-1793) respecting the Treaty of New York, which was signed on August 7, 1790 by representatives of the U. S. and the Creek Nation, including U. S. Secretary of War Henry Knox and Creek leader Alexander McGillivray. Few writes that the Assembly of Georgia did not approve of the Treaty of New York, which undermined the treaties that Georgia had already signed with the Creeks. He notes that most people in Georgia disapproved of the treaty as well. Few discusses the treaty only briefly and devotes the rest of his letter to a discussion of the debate over state versus federal authority.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/jpegtcc926engMode 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 83, folder 06, document 01.Creek Indians--TreatiesCreek Indians--Government relationsGeorgia--Politics and government--1775-1865United States--Politics and government--1783-1865Central-local government relations--United StatesState rights[Letter] 1791 Jan. 15, Philadelphia [to] Governor Edward Telfair, Augusta / W[illia]m FewText
