Abstract:
Seeking assistance with a government claim to “cover the loss of a negro man, and damages sustained by the wanton interference of the Creek Agent’s power." Claims that the Creek Agent had prevented him from “use of” a family of 10 Black individuals for almost two years and assisted one of them in running away. Notes needing testimony to prove the claim, and one individual who is able to do so is currently living in the Creek nation. Comments on other paperwork to prove the claim for extra pay promised to their father for acting as "removing agent" and expectations of deceit from others involved. Recommends "galvanism or electricity" to help restore a child's "lost sences." Mother has been unwell, attributing sickness to gardening in the heat in an attempt to stave off the effects of drought.
