St. Mary’s Ga. Nov. 5. 1816 
Sir,
In compliance with your Excellency's Letters to Genl.
[General] Floyd of the 22nd ulto. [ultimo] which was
communicated to us immediately on its receipt by
express -- the Sheriffs & his deputies were required
to take into their possession the property that could
be found, that had been [document damaged] Indian
George at the time he was murdered.

The Sheriff has reported that two Indian Horses have
been Seized & and we [unclear: request] that [missing
word: you]will be pleased to direct what shall be done
with them & with the property that may hereafter be
taken.... the expense of conveying these horses (which
are very small, & of little value) to Milledgeville,
would be more than they are worth and five Dollars has
been paid to [unclear: a man] after one of them -- 

A Warrant has been issued for the apprehension of the
persons named in the affidavit of Mr. Barber, but our
impression is that they will not come on this side of
the River. --No exertion shall be wanting on the part
of the Justices of the Inferior Court. -- 

We are respectfully 
Yr. Obdt Servts [Your Obedient Servants] 

[Signed] Willm. [William] Gibson[unclear: J. J. C. C.] 
[Signed] Wm [William] Bailey[unclear: J. J. C.]

Governor of the State
of Georgia
