This collection consists of two items, a letter from John Adam Treutlen to John Hancock, 1777, and an agreement to repay John Adam Treutlen, written by George Schneiger. In the letter, Treutlen writes of the traitorous actions of George McIntosh. He states that the Georgia House of Assembly is unable to bring George McIntosh to justice because of his connections, so he has been sent to the Continental Congress to be tried. Treutlen writes of Lachlan McIntosh's attempts to frustrate the plans of the House of Assembly by keeping George McIntosh from being sent to Philadelphia. He also mentions the events leading up to the duel between Lachlan McIntosh and Button Gwinnett. Also, Treutlen talks about East Florida and the trouble being cause by thieves there who have connections in Georgia and who communicate to Great Britain intelligence gathered by Tories in Georgia and the other states. This letter is a photocopy of the original located in the Library of Congress. The first half of the agreement is missing.
