1836 GEORGIA LETTER RE INDIAN WARS,1836 GEORGIA LETTER RE INDIAN WARS, GEN JESUPLetter dated September 17, 1836, regarding a Florida land deal. Writer is communicating presumably with would-be investors or other interested parties about "a band of 3000 acres of the best land on the St. John's River, as navigation is all-important." He goes on to describe the challenge presented by the Indian Wars, but says that "a very strong army will be sent against them next month with Genl. Jesup at their head ... now he may drive them out of the country or force them to a compliance ... of some shape." Indeed, General Jesup's solution involved controversially capturing chiefs Osceola and Micanopy under a false flag of truce after each had agreed to sign a peace treaty. Letter is faintly postmarked and measures 10" x 7-3/4".
