It concerns an interesting,

little-known, historical footnote about the activities of the descendants

of the Tories, loyalists of the British Crown, who settled here after

the Revolutionary War.

Would you kindly reprint this

old letter in The Citizen.

Very truly yours,

I.M. Historicus

Sir Humphrey Tarleton, Commander

Fayette County Post 29

King George's Own Dragoons

Chartered 1777

29 April, 1834

My Fellow Loyalists,

Post 49 will be sponsoring

its annual observance on Redcoat Memorial Day next Saturday on the historic

grounds of Tomochichi's oak grove where the Dragoons captured and hanged

the seven patriots in 1778.

Of course, bygones will be

bygones, so all descendants of the patriots are also invited to join us

for this celebration honoring the brave Loyalists who fought in the valiant,

losing struggle to defend Georgia and keep our colony in the King's realm.

I truly don't understand the

lack of participation in our organization by the patriot descendants in

our country. There's absolutely no discrimination in the Fayette County

Dragoons, and we badly need seven real descendants of the patriots for

our annual reenactment of the hanging.

Very truly yours,

Sir Humphrey Tarleton
