From the Collection:

This collection consists of the full texts of HR757, HR845, and HR916, which appear to have been torn from a brown paper binding. HR757, dated December 21, 1836, requests money for the Indian Department and for fulfilling treaty stipulations for 1837. It includes five pages of itemized amounts. On February 20, it was amended with a stipulation and requests for several more sums of money. HR845, dated January 17, 1837, adds to a bill - approved on May 28, 1930 - three requests dealing with moving Indians further west and appropriating their land. It requests $50,000 to defray the costs associated with these moves. Two copies of HR916, dated February 6, 1837, request funds to support the Tennessee volunteers who mustered in from April to July, 1836 under Governor Cannon's proclamation.
