Hon [Honorable]  T Hartley Crawford 
Commissioner of Indian Affairs  
I herewith enclose you the claim of Wm. & H Bryson of Augusta Geo. [Georgia]  against Nathan B. Hyatt deceasd [deceased]  for the sum of $249.17. Hyatt was a white man entitled to cherokee privileges. Improvements have been valued to his estate under the treaty of  
1835 For which there is a sufficient amount due on book F to satisfy the above claim the payment of which it seems was provided for under the 9th article of the treaty.   
  
yours & c [et cetera]    
[Signed]  W.H.T. [William Holland Thomas]
