Neao-Orlean5, Marsb IT, 1907.
GENERAL JAMES WILKINSON,
SIR,
In compliance to your requeft of yeter-
day, relative to the period of general John A.
dar's arrival and departure from the city of
Nafhvil'e, Tenneffee, and the conversation
that pafied between US, whit there, haften
to make the following ftatement, which be-
lieve to be a correct one 4: General John Adair
and Col. Burr arrived at Nafhville about the
middle of December laft, from Kentucky, l
know not whether they came together, they
lodged at the fame houfe, and occupied, un-
derfocd, one room They left NafhvilIe in a
few days of each other, gen. Adair by land
and Col. Burr by water. From previous con-
wrfation with Adar, an imprefiion was made
on my mind, that he had either returned to
Kentucky, or had gone to viGt the tract of
country lately coded to the United States by
the Chickafaw Indians, on the waters of Duck
river, having cxprefied determination of ma
king purChafe in that quarter, If the lands an
! fwered the defcription.
He mentioned his intention of WHITING New
Orleansi in the courfe of 8 weeks from the time
ct his arrival in NaihviIle, and that he would
be happy if could lie ready to accompany
him. ! heard no more of the general for a
week, when / was informed by gentleman
iervant in the Chickafaw nation, travelling with
great rapidity, in diiection to the Mi1ifIippi
| territory. His buiinefs in this quarter know
| not. i believe the above TO be all that paI,d
| us.
| have the honor to be,
Respectfully,
| Your obedint fervant

full I'm form, well armed, and the cavalry
and hcssars well mounted. That they per-
formed the various evolutions of the dav
with great exactness, and that they alrea-
dy wore the appearance of veterans, and
the cheerfulness Of ConquerorS. But what
completed the pleasure Of the day was that
nearly the whole of them were volunteers
