 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1
From the Collection:

This collection consists of two letters and a report. The 1784 report certifies that in May 1783 Major John Reid brought a letter to the settlement from Colonel John Donaldson asking Robertson to get guides from the Chickasaws. The 1788 letter to General Joseph Martin is filled with news about the Creeks and Cherokees, mentions that Captain Martin is greatly esteemed in the area, and promises to have the road opened by the time advertised. The 1802 letter to Colonel Return J. Meggs verifies that Culsetehe, a Cherokee, had a horse stolen by a white man and should be reimbursed.
