An Account of the State of Creek Indians

James White, superintendent of the Southern District, reports that the threatened Creek invasion has subsided. Creeks favorably inclined by the liberal sentiments of commissioners from Congress; although they resent the State of Georgia for their encroachments. Alexander McGillivray claims allegiance to United States, but not Georgia. Strength is about 6000 gunmen; have support from the Spaniards in Florida. Does not know with what conveniency the United States could wage war on Creeks; but Georgia had difficulty keeping its troops together. Creeks are reluctant to part with their lands and they will fight for retention. Discusses the matter of consent of land sales by partial elements of Creek nation. White people continue to make encroachments and surveys of land. Much of instigation due to McGillivray, who is in Spanish pay, and who hates Georgia. He also has British connections. Sends a letter from McGillivray. White also encloses letter he sent to McGillivray and a talk he gave to Lower Creeks.
