notes:
The treaty of Mobile, signed between the British and the Choctaws in 1765, resulted in the Choctaws ceding an area from the Mobile River almost to the Mississippi River. Written by a senior officer with the 35th Regiment (Royal Sussex), this journal was probably the work of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Fletcher. The first eight leaves of this journal have been lost, making identification of the author uncertain, but Fletcher was the only senior officer associated with the regiment at this time who could have written the journal.
