Collection Overview

Collection summary derived from "Guidebook to Manuscripts", 1969: Letter from Anthony Wayne (1745-1796) written from Savannah, Georgia, on June 10, 1791 , to Governor Edward Telfair, asks what measures have been taken to recover prisoners and property carried off by the Indians (Creek) which, according to a certain treaty, were to be delivered before June 1. He also asks what the governor's sentiments are about compensation for depredations committed by the Creeks prior to the treaty. The second document is a "receipt" signed by Wayne in 1795 for three Indian women, one boy, and one girl, surrendered by the Delawares. They had been captured in 1794.
