AVGUSTA, Nov . 22.
NINETY-SIX, August 28, 1788.
To Alexander M l Gi!Jivray , Esq. and others
the Chief Men and Warriors of the Creek
Nation.
OUR lad to you, dated at Fort Charlotte,
July 16, 17S8, appointed the 15th of
next month for holding the treaty; every
effort on our part has been exerted to effect it
by that time, but from very cogent real'ons
we find it impossible; two powerful ones
are—the necessary dispatches from the pre
sent Congress not arriving in time, without
which the supplies for putting the treaty into
execution, upon a liberal footing, would be
entirely infumcient—next the change of go
vernment taking place since ; and the proba
bility of our receiving imlrudions very thort
ly under the auspices of the New
whole fiat in this, as well as in every other
case, will be more permanent than that of
the expiring one. Other circumstances might
be urged, but these, we think, will have due
weight with you for prolonging the time of
treaty, which we with to make agreeable to
both parties. We have no objection to put
it off to the spring of next year, which we
hope will meet your approbation.
In the interim we wait your answer, and
can assure you, hostilities will cease on the
part of Georgia again!! your nation ; the
fame, we exped, will be mutually observed
on your part, as it appears to be the wilh of
your people, as well as ours, to come to a
peace.
We fubferibe ourselves
Your humble servants,
RICHARD WINN,
ANDREW PICKENS.
GEORGE MATHtAVS.
N. B. We inclofe to you a Georgia paper
-—in it you will fee the Governor’s Procla
mation refpefting the treaty.
IT - A
Gentlemen^
J HAVE received your letter of the 28th Au
gust, wherein you desired rhat the propoled
treaty between us may be deferred until the
spring cf the next year.—The reasons which
you give us for that meafureare good, and to
which we give our alfent, hoping that a New
Congress, ading on the principles of the New
Constitution of America, will set every thing
to rights between us on the mod equitable foot
ing, so that we may become real friends to
each other, fettling on the fame land, and
having but one interest.
We expeded that upon Mr. Whitefield’s
return, a truce of arms would have been im
mediately proclaimed in Georgia, and cannot
account for the delay of that measure—in fad
there has been no observance of it, from that
time till now : They have been driving our
hunting camps and plundering them of horses,
lkins, &c. and it is but lately that a Coweta !
Indian brought me a paper which he found
(luck upon a tree near Flint river, and which,
upon a close examination, I found to be a
threatening letter addressed to me : It is wrote
with gun-powder on the back of an adver
tisement, and a great part of it has been ef
faced wbilft drying and by carrying it. In it is
exprefted somewhat concerning “ war 5 * an !
“ your savage fubjeds ;”-it proceeds thus :
« An eftabliftiment of peace you mult not
< ( exped until all our damages are made good
** at the treaty ; and fatisfadion we will have
€t for our grievances from a!! which I
forefee great difficulty in attempting to pre
serve a Arid suspension of hostilities, and can
only assure you, that we (hall regulate our.
selves by the conduit of the Georgians, and
ad according to circumftances,—The writing

flilitj committed in the moil barbarous man
ner by the Americans: Numbers of them
are taking refuge within our territory, and
are permitted to fettle and build villages un
der our protection. Such ael9 of violeuce
committed, whilst Congress, through you, is
holding out to all the nations and tribes pro
fedions of the most friendly mture, make it
appear to all, that such profeflions are only
deceitful snares to lull them into a security
whereSvthe Americans may the mote eulily
deflroy them. —De not offended, Gentlemen,
at the remark—it is a truth that is univetfal
among the Indians
