| Description: | This letter, dated July 30, 1839, is from William Holland Thomas to Thomas S. Jesup, U.S. Quartermaster General. The letter concerns a claim of (William ?) Cuningham against the United States. Thomas, as legal representative of the claimant, requests that the case be reexamined since Cuningham can prove that he performed the services for which he was contracted. Cuningham was employed by the U.S. to assist in the transport of Cherokees during their forced removal. Document ID: wt039.
