United States, North Carolina, 35.50069, -80.00032Thomas, William Holland, 1805-18931857-04-12This is a letter from William H. Thomas, legal representative of the North Carolina Cherokees, to Thomas Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury, dated April 12, 1857. Thomas explains in great detail how the Eastern Cherokees are being deprived of money owed them under the treaty of 1835 and an act of 1848. This explanation is part of Thomas's strenuous argument that his fees have been unpaid as a result of ongoing controversies over annuity and interest payments.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegwtp076engMode 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, William H.
