we havejome expe&atioh. that the
Cho&aws, Chickasaws and Upper

the Creeks, as a party of the
Chickasaws has aleady been out to I
war against them and has brought I
in five Creek fcafps which Lam
in hopes will be some ease to our I
frontiers. If Congress will, only |
give us the liberty of railing one
hundred then for Ci months, to
join the tribes that intend going to
war against the Creeks, f make
not the le^ft doubt, but we can
*obli^ them to make a permanent
treaty with the United States^for
one. half the expence that the
treaty of NewrYork cost. If
Congrefs' should H not s think h
vorth. while to fall upon some
other method for- the pratedion of

of this country will fall upon foine
