| Title: | [Letter] 1799 Aug. 13, War Department, [to] James Jackson, Governor of Georgia, Louisville, [Georgia] / James McHenry, Sec[re]t[ar]y [of] War |
| Date: | 1799 Aug. 13 |
| Description: | This is a letter dated August 13, 1799 from James McHenry, United States Secretary of War, to Governor James Jackson (Governor of Georgia, 1798-1801) regarding the boundary line between Georgia and Florida. McHenry says that from the information that he has received he has no reason to believe that the Indians will greatly oppose the running of the boundary line or otherwise do anything to threaten the frontier inhabitants near the line. To support his belief, he cites a reply sent from James Seagrove in response to a talk from Methlogee (?), which he says should appease all the Indians. Document ID: tcc770.
