GOVERNOR TROUP TO GENERAL 314INTOSIT.

Executive Department, Milledgeville, 29th March,.lB2s.
Dear General,—You will have seen, by my Proclamation of
the 21st inst. that I have resolved, in fulfilment of the stipula-
tions of the treaty, to maintain inviolate all your right reserved
by it, so that you suffer no detriment or loss by the trespasses
or intrusions of the whites, as long as you continue to occupy
the country.
It is important that the territory acquired by the late treaty
ahould be organized as speedily as possible, consistently with
the provisions of that instrument ; and not doubting that your
assent will be given to the survey of it before your removal, I
have dispatched a messenger to you, that your resolution may
be communicated to me without delay. It is not presumed
that the least inconvenience can result to you from this measure.
Besides my own determination to cause the right of the Indians
to be respected in their persons and property at all times, there
will be a future and ample security and protection in the selec-
tion of the officers who shall be charged with the duty of run-
ning the lines, who shall be responsible, not only that no de-
predations arc committed by themselves, but that none shall
be committed by others, without their giving prompt notice
to the lawful authorities, so that the offenders may be brought
to Justice.
You
will understand that there is no intention on my part to
hurrry your departure ; the period of this will he left to your
considerations of interest and convenience under the treaty;
but as the survey is a work of time, this time can be saved to
us, so that having completed it, nothing will remain but to
occupy and settle the country after you shall have left it. I
wish you, by all means, to give me your final answer by this
express, that I may know what measures it will become my
duty to adopt. Your friend,
Gem Wm. M'lntosh, Creek Nation. G. TROUP.
GOVERNOR TROUP TO GEN. M'INTOSII.—EXTRACT
Dated Executive Department Geo. Milledegeville,
April, 4, 1325.
I wish you to inform me as early as possible of your resolu-
tion about the running and survey of the country as mentioned
in my letter by express.
You will have seen by my proclamation that I have deter-
mined the Indians shall suffer no loss or injury from our white
people, if I can help it; it is intened to guard them against
those people whom they will themselves consider as tresspassers
and intruders, and not to prevent white people from going into
the nation with honest intentions to make purchase of stock or
property of any kind which you can lawfully dispose of—all
such persons will be suffered to pass and repass without moles-
tation. We will endeavour, too, to appoint good and honest
men for our surveyors, so that they will do no harm themselves,
and suffer none to he done to the Indians.

GENERAL DOINTOSII TO GOVERNOR TROUP.

Acorn Blufl; April 6, 1825.

Governor Troup,

Dear Sir—l received your letter of the 29th of March by the
hands of your messenger, which gave me pleasure to get. On
the 10th of this month the Chiefs will be here, when I will lay
your letter before them ; after which I will inform you what
we shall agree to, without delay. When this meeting is held,
if we agree to the running of the lands, it is my wish that the
surveyors should get their support from the red people.
'I am, dear Sir, yours, with respect,
Nirm. M'INTOSII.
G(WERNOR TROUP TO GENERAL 741`INTOSH.

Executive Department, 111illetlg.eville, April 9, 1825.

.
Dear General—According to your wish, as communicated by
my express, I send another to-morrow morning to know the re-
sult of the deliberations of the Council upon the proposition sub-
mittedin my last letter, and also to inform you that the money
which was asked to be advanced by me to enable you without
delay to explore the country west of the Mississippi will be
ready for you, whenever you send an agent authorised to re-
ceive it.

1 wish you to hasten the return of my express, or:if you have
occasion to detain him, to mention to me in your letter the cause
of that detention. Your friend,
General Wm. 111` Intosh. G. 111. TROUP.

P. S. There is little doubt but that all or most of our sup-
Tiles, in surveying the country, will be derived from the red
.people, provided they are willing to furnish them, and on rea-
sonable terms.

G. M. TROUP.
GENERAL 31'INTOSH TO GOVERNOR TROUP.

Extract, dated I ,ock-Chau-Talo-Fatt, or
Acre Town, April 12, 1823.
1 have been, however, at some loss in making up my mind,
and must confess to you the embarrassment I have laboured
under. Ever since the President of the United States has had
Agents residing amongst us, we have universally considered it
our duty to consult him on all important matters that relate to
the general government, or the government of any particular
state, considering him the legal and proper organ through whom
all official correspondence should pass, in relation to our inte-
rests appertaining to the treaties made with our nation and the
United States.

Some differences existing between the present Agent of the
Creek Nation and myself, and not having any confidence in his
advice, I have determined to act according to the dictates of my
best judgment, which results in the determination to agree to
the request of your Excellency in giving my consent, and in
behalf of the nation who signed the treaty, their consent, that
the land lately ceded to the United States, at the Indian Springs
may ba run off and surveyed whenever you may or the General
Government think proper to do so.
If the General Government of the United States have no ob-
jection, and the Agent of the Creek Nation, with the party he
influences, does not make any objection or opposition to running
and surveying the land, myself and the Chiefs and Indians
who were in favour of the late treaty, do not object--We give
our consent.

GENERAL IWINTOSII TO GOVERNOR TROUP,

Creek Nation, April 12, 1825.

_
To Governor Troup. .
I have taken the liberty of sending to you a memorial of our
Chiefs to the Legislature of your StAte, and request the favour
of you.to cause it to he laid before them with such marks,of your
approbation as you may, in friendship towards us, think. proper
to bestow.
In giving voluntarily our consent for the survey of the land
in the late treaty, we were actuated by motives of friendship
purely toward you, and toward your people. No consideration
of a mercenary nature could be permitted to enter our breasts
when a favour was asked of us, particularly by your Excel-
lency, and in behalf of your people. We knew the great im-
portance it was to your people to be ready to occupy the coun-
try immediately after our removal from it, and have with true
hearts of friendship acceded to your request. We would have
thought it disgraceful in us to attempt to make a condition
founded on your wants or desires, a price for our acquies-
cceirnccuen.lstTanhcee
will have only the effect to render ourselves opportunity presented itself, and we hope the
wor-
thy of your esteem and friendship.
I remain your brother and friend,

Wm. APINToni.

GOVERNOR TROUP TO GENERAL
Milledgeville, April 18, 1825.
Dear General—In one of your late letters you say something
about the consent of the United States, or if the agent and the
hostiles do not make opposition. Pray explain to me your
meaning. We have nothing to do with the United States, or
the agent, or the hostiles in this matter ; all we want is the con-
sent of the friendly Indians who made the treaty. If we wanted
the consent of the United States we could ask it.
Your Friend, 0. M. Tnour.
General Wm. Al'lntosh, Creek Nation.
BRIGADIER-GENERAL WARE TO GOVERNOR TROUP.

Fayetteville, 14th April, 1825.
Dear Sir—l herewith transmit to you the resolutions of the
friendly Creek Indians, or those who were in favour of the
treaty. As their determination with respect to permitting the
recently acquired territory to be run off, or surveyed, is of gene-
ral importance to the citizens of the State of Georgia, I have
deemed it advisable to send them by express, as the most speedy
and sure mode of conveyance. You will also receive by the
bearer, Sir. NVilson, two other letters.
With respect, your most obedient Servant,
ALEXANDER WARE.
His Excellency G. M. Troup.
GOVERNOR Thoup TO GENERAL WINTOSH•I
Extract, dated Executive Department, Milledgeville,
16th April, 1825.
Dear General—Your two letters of the 12th inst. have just
been received, by which it is made known to me that, in Coun-
cil, you have given your consent to the survey of the lands.
