Explanation for Retreat from Former Camp and Prospects for Further Talks

McGillivray says he moved camp because he needed food for his horses. Relates that he spoke at length with Colonel Humphreys regarding the contest between Creeks and state of Georgia. Says that when he learned that discussions would not include encroachments or restitution of hunting grounds, or Oconee lands, then he resolved to return to the nation to refer the matter until spring. Nothing further can be done; McGillivray says he is unwell. As for a statement of disputes, Congress has been in possession of them, and had declared that they would decide on them in the principles of justice and humanity.
