- Letter from John Couper to "My Dear Sir," dated at St. Simons Island on September 14, 1836. Reports getting Mr. Harris in to look at recipient's field; "he thinks better of it than Cudjoe does." Says received on the 6th a letter dated the 5th from the Commander in Chief ordering out a Glynn County unit and 50 men of Wayne County to march 50 miles to Jonesville. The battallion under Major [part of name torn] Couper was to leave Waynesville that day "as the Indians were in force and in possession of part of Ware County."
