- Description:
- Crawford explains that he has been delayed from reaching Washington until the end of the month. The remainder of the letter concerns a pamphlet published by Governor John Clarke of Georgia that contained information concerning Crawford. Crawford felt this information to be negative and incorrect. In his letter to the president, Crawford refutes the governor's charges and explains the political situation in his own terms. Some of Clarke's charges included involvement with the illicit abduction of slaves.
