Dear Sir 
I stopped at Milledgeville long enough 
to read over the papers pertaining to the late boundary nego- 
ciations and to Commence the work of drawing up a 
report; but ill health constrained me to suspend, and 
though you will find the report brief enough, it was not 
finished till I reached this village. I know not how 
much more or less it may contain than might be 
desired - but if anything has been Omitted or unnecessarily 
dwelt on, on my return from Athens to Milledgeville 
such change will be made as may be called for. 
Mr Couper and I agreed, previous to my departure 
from Tallahassee, that each should exercise the right 
of subscribing the other's name to whatever might be 
written on the matter of our mission. I have therefore 
by authority subscribed his name to this report drawn 
up in his absence 
Very truly Yours
