| Title: | Letter, 1788 June 22, [to the] Governor [of Georgia], Augusta, [Georgia] / Colo[nel] James Armstrong |
| Date: | 1788 June 22 |
| Description: | This is a letter dated June 22, 1788 from Colonel James Armstrong of the Georgia Guard to the Governor of Georgia (George Handley, 1788-1789). Armstrong says that he was directed to take his troops to the Ogeechee River to obtain provisions but that there are no provisions available there. He goes on to say that the specific tax is not sufficient to support the troops in the upper district and that, as no Indian depredations have been committed there lately, the troops should be furloughed until September. Armstrong says that only the lower district requires support at this time. Document ID: tcc806.
