The documents in this collection support Alexander Wright's claim for the destruction by British forces of rice, other provisions, and the barn and machinery on his plantation, Richmond & Kew, near Savannah, Georgia. Two affidavits describe and evaluate the destroyed property. The third item in the collection, a proclamation of Governor Wright certifying Nathaniel Hall's authority as Justice of the Peace to take affidavits, orders that the Great Seal of Georgia should be attached. The fourth document is Sir James Wright's and Lt. Col Alured Clarke's proclamation giving their authority for ordering the destruction of the property; it is signed by both. Typed transcriptions for all documents are included with the originals.
