| Title: | [Letter] 1826 May 18, Washington, [D.C. to George] Troup, Gov[ernor of Georgia] / J[ohn] Macpherson Berrien |
| Date: | 1826 May 18 |
| Description: | This is a letter dated May 18, 1826 from John Macpherson Berrien, U.S. Senator from Georgia, to George Troup, Governor of Georgia (1823-1827), regarding the continued deliberations of Congress on the Treaty of Washington, D.C. with the Creeks. Berrien reports that when the appropriations bill associated with the treaty came under consideration, it was discovered that a "corrupt" agreement had been made to deliver the majority of the funds to the McIntosh delegation (those Creeks associated with the late William McIntosh). Berrien informs Troup that he is a member of a committee appointed to investigate the matter and laments the continued association of the treaty with fraud and partisanship.
