| Description: | This letter is from John Macpherson Berrien, U.S. Senator from Georgia, to George Troup, Governor of Georgia (1823-1827), dated May 7, 1826. Berrien reports to Troup on the proceedings of the Senate with respect to the ratification and proclamation of the Treaty of Washington, D.C. with the Creeks, and the rejection of various amendments he had proposed.

He further states that some of McIntosh's delegation are being detained in Washington. This letter is also related to tcc685, tcc686, tcc687, and tcc689. Document ID: tcc688.
