| Description: | This is a letter dated January 27, 1832 from John Coffee in Clarkesville (Habersham County, Georgia) to Wilson Lumpkin, Governor of Georgia (1831-1835), regarding Coffee's efforts to rent lands formerly belonging to the Cherokees and to settle conflicting claims to said lands. Coffee reports that these improved lands are now of higher value than they previously were and have been commanding good prices. He also tells Governor Lumpkin that Indians in the area have committed depredations around local gold mines, and he has sent a detachment to scout the area. Coffee also reports threats from Indians near the Tennessee River, and he says that another detachment has been sent to that area. Document ID: tcc702.
