Executive Department, Geo Milledgeville, 13th July, 1822. The Executive having received the first instalment on the claims allowed under the late treaty with the Creek Indians, with a list from the War Department of the names of the claimants, and the amount allowed to each, one-fifth part of which (the amount received) will be paid to those entitled to receive it, on application to Maj. Elisha Wood, at this office, agreeable to said list, which is ordered to be published in the Georgia Journal, for the information of those concerned. In all cases where the original claimant is dead, the heirs and representatives will be required to produce their authority for receiving the money. The Executive cannot refrain from expressing his regret at perceiving so many of the claimants deprived of what he conceives to be their just rights, for the want of the requisite proof in support of their claims. He, however, entertains a hope that this subject may again be taken up, and further time allowed for exhibiting the formal proof, so as to afford to those who have not substantiated their claims by the proof required, an opportunity of doing so. (Attest,) JOHN BURCH. S.E.D.
