White, when here, ■f never wanted to take hold of bad >flks, or put the white people from them, St to take them by the hand, and hold flm as fathers, brothers, and friends : 'fltbe alio told him it was what his elders Id always told him to do, for the bene ’lof them and their children: That he fluid never have any other intention, but fls sorry to have met with any thing that fliuld interrupt their peace, as he always flhed to hold the three nations, Afntri §s, Englilh, and Spaniards, fad as ’■ends; is sorry for the interruption, but ■glad to fee the time coming when he Hll be able to reuew his ftiendfhip ; had Ha great deal to fay, but, as he said be fle, hopes the beloved men will not fltne them solely for what has happened, Bngonly in defence of their rights : That ■has seen their talks, is proud to fee fly look upon him as they do : That he flays looked on them as brothers,fathers, B friends, from whom, as their duty, U always expected advice, and hopes Ben they meet the talk will be straight Id full: That when he saw Col. White I was glad, received him as a friend, Id to him told his grievance, withed him ■ lay them before Congress, and to get I Ge«rgians removed from the lands, Ithout which there could be 110 peace ; It they did not intend or with a general It; that being once done, every thing fluid return to its old channel: When fly fee this, they will fee our talks are fl fame as to Col.

White, what happened at the firft settlement, that the whites then only poflcfTed the sea-board, but one oc currence or other has led them up the country, and they are now eucroaching as near as pofiibie : As they mean a talk, a little is best spoke from the heart ; he hopes he speaks to his friends, that he has now returned the talk to his fathers in an swer to theirs, which he likes and received with pleasure; and as they will receive this by me, hopes when they meet there wnl be no obstacle, but they will meet and shake hands in a friendly manner, like fathers and sous. TuckabachieSy s\fi May , 1788, BEING all met, they received the talk as a good one, and made choice of the Mad Dodos the Tuckabachies, who re plied as follows : That they and the low er towns were all one people, and what has been done there they agreed to; there has beeu a little difference, but, as a peace talk is come, hopes there will be 110 thoughts of that, that he does not blame the heads of the whites, hopes they to not blame them, as what has been dose he believes to be done by the lower kind of people, and not by the heads, as he fees now from their talk; hopes they have taken it into consideration to preserve life ; and that he is as ready for peace as they are, they with for nothing but peace, if agreeable to both sides, and do not think themselves in fault; as for the dif ference of blood that has been fpilt it can not be helped, they are sorry for it, and would be glad how soon it can be flopped ; it is of no use to a long talk until they meet, when every thing will be dif cutfed fully, and hopes they will meet friends and fettle their business. 3 AUGvFTaOZ!. jB.
