Abstract: This manuscript is a letter written by Jacob Siler, a former Agent of the State (1839-40) working within North Carolina and nearby states, and sent to William Holland Thomas. In the letter Jacob Siler is protesting both duplicate land certificates being given, as well as the lands themselves that are being given to him and his Entry takers. He states that they are entitled to lands that have not yet been sold or surveyed by the state. This transcription and its attendant annotations, explanatory material, and bibliography were prepared by students in ENGL 618: Research Methods in English, the required gateway class for the MA in English at Western Carolina University.
