| Description: | This document is a copy of a letter to Georgia Governor Edward Telfair (1786-1776, 1790-1793) from Augustus Christian George Elholm in Philadelphia, dated November 19, 1791. Elholm explains the relationship between Georgia and the State of Franklin in recent conflicts with the Creek Indians. He refers to an act titled "An Act to Suppress the Violence of the Indians," in which the citizens of Franklin were granted land along the Tennessee River in exchange for their services in defending against the Creeks, and affirms the rights of those citizens to the land. Elholm was later the Adjutant General for Georgia (1792-1795). The original letter also appears in the Southeastern Native American Documents Database as document tcc338 Document ID: tcc337. 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. |
