This is a letter dated April 29, 1836 from Wilson Lumpkin in Athens, Georgia, to Governor William Schley (Governor of Georgia, 1835-1837) in Milledgeville. Wilson calls Schley's attention to the case of Joseph Espey, who received a receipt for money owed to claimants under the provisions of the Treaty of Indian Springs (probably the second Treaty of Indian Springs, February 12, 1825, concluded between a faction of Creek Indians and U.S. commissioners). Lumpkin says that the money had already been paid to the heirs of Espey's father, Thomas, and that Joseph Espey pointed out this error and agreed to send the incorrect receipt back to the governor. Lumpkin asks the governor to send Espey a corrected receipt showing that the claim had already been paid, and he refers Schley to (Alfred?) Cuthbert should he have any further questions about the case.
