| Title: | [Letter] 1812 Nov. 7, Point Petre [i.e., Peter, Georgia to] David B. Mitchell, Gov[erno]r of Georgia, Milledgeville, [Georgia] |
| Date: | 1812 Nov. 7 |
| Description: | This is a letter from a colonel in the rifle regiment in Point Peter, Camden County, Georgia to David B. Mitchell, Governor of Georgia (1809-1813, 1815-1817). The author of the letter informs the governor that he has suspended all actions against St. Augustine until he receives further orders, and he has received information from the residents of Amelia Island (Nassau County, Florida) regarding Spanish threats from the sea. The colonel indicates that the Indians have not caused any trouble lately in the area and attributes this to their recent defeat at the hands of Colonel Newnan. Also mentioned are General Flournoy and Governor of East Florida, Sebastian Kindelan y Oregon. Document ID: tcc402.
