Correspondence between T[homas] Spalding and Gov[ernor] Th[omas] M[ann] Randolph, 1827 Apr. 4 Spalding, Thomas, 1774-1851 Randolph, Thomas M. (Thomas Mann), 1768-1828 Indians of North America Boundaries Surveys This document contains two letters dated April 4, 1827 between Thomas Spalding and Thomas Mann Randolph (former Governor of Virginia, 1819-1822), regarding the running of an "experimental" boundary line along the Georgia/Florida border. Writing from Thomas County (Georgia), Spalding complains about the inaccuracy of lines currently being run and notes that the new line is described as an "experimental" or temporary one, but the Indians in the area are nevertheless very alarmed by the activity. Spalding recommends that the drawing of the "experimental" line be suspended. In his letter to Spalding, Randolph responds that he is comfortable with the location of the experimental line and never really placed much value in the older lines. In order that the inhabitants might be consoled, Randolph asks Spalding to print up an explanatory circular to be distributed. He refuses to grant Spalding's request to abandon the experimental line, though he concedes that it may eventually need some changes. Document ID: tcc768.
