Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letter dated February 2, 1836 from John H. Eaton, former U.S. Secretary of War (1829-1831) and Governor of the Florida territory (1834-1836), to an unknown recipient (very likely William Schley, Governor of Georgia 1835-1837), regarding the Second Seminole War (1835-1842). Eaton describes the forces currently stationed in the Florida territory and beseeches his reader to send more troops from Georgia. He argues that a large proportion of Florida's men are already enrolled as volunteers and that the larger population of Georgia can afford many more forces. Eaton mentions the number of "friendly" Indians already participating, as well as listing naval vessels available in Tampa Bay. He asserts that the only way to subdue the Seminoles is to march directly into their country in a direct attack, but stresses that Florida forces alone cannot accomplish this offensive maneuver.

Eaton asserts that the war cannot be won with small detachments, rather the Indians must be "overwhelmed" with large numbers of troops and forts. He goes on to indicate the urgency of the present situation, remarking on the coming "sickly" season, as well as seasonal rains, that will impede troop movement and subsistence.

Wellborn at the executive office in Milledgeville writes to Georgia Governor William Schley (1835-1837) on June 19, 1836 to update Schley on recent communications and transactions, particularly those related to arms shipments. Wellborn explains that he sent arms to Floyd and Walker counties and will send a shipment to Cherokee County shortly. He tells Schley that he responded to a letter from General Hemphill that pertained to Indians, but Wellborn believes that there is little danger imminent, except to citizens of the lower territory that borders Alabama. Colonel (Charles H.?) Nelson's position is discussed with regard to the end of what he refers to as "the Creek War" and the "difficulties with the Cherokees". Nelson reported to Wellborn that he heard of the ratification of a treaty (possibly the Treaty of New Echota, 1835) in the Forsyth Court House.
