| Title: | Letter, 1842 May 2, Centrevillage, Georgia to [Governor] Charles J. McDonald, Milledgeville, Georgia / Aaron Jernigan |
| Date: | 1842 May 2 |
| Description: | This is a letter dated May 2, 1842 from Aaron Jernigan to Governor Charles J. McDonald (Governor of Georgia, 1839-1843) in response to the governor's request for an estimate of the costs of maintaining two companies of troops for three months near the Okefenokee Swamp. He also tells the governor that there are still Indians along the Georgia border and that they are a concern to the citizens there, and he asks the governor to relay to him any information that he receives about Indians in the area of the Okefenokee Swamp. Jernigan also complains of having to borrow rations from private citizens and asks the governor to authorize the quartermaster to repay those citizens for the supplies that they have loaned the troops.
