Answer to: State of facts, shewing the right of certain companies to the lands lately purchased by them from the state of Georgia.--P. 5-6.

Relates to the second "Yazoo" sale, whereby Georgia disposed of 22 million acres of her western lands to four land companies in Jan. 1795. The sale was annulled Feb. 1796, but not before the Georgia Mississippi Company, one of the four, had disposed of a part of its holdings to the New England Mississippi Company.
