author: Duke, G. R., fl. 1812

summary: This is a letter dated September 29, 1812 from
G. R. Duke in Savannah to David B. Mitchell, Governor
of Georgia (1809-1813), in Milledgeville. Duke reports
that he transmits with this letter the muster roll and
inspection report ordered by General Floyd (neither of
which survives with this letter), though he notes that
he does not include information from the Camden County
batallion, which has been busy fighting Indians on the
frontier. Duke reports that he has been told that the
Indians in that area have been very troublesome. He
also refers to a receipt from two individuals for the
body of Meshack Burney, pursuant to the governor's
orders.
