Regarding the Failed Treaty Talks with Alexander McGillivray
Document 1789The commissioners state that they are sorry that McGillivray did not provide objections, nor propose terms acceptable to Creek nation. Colonel Humphreys said that he did not offer any articles as an ultimatum. State that McGillivray must have understood that commissioners were desirous of receiving terms that would form basis for treaty. Commissioners will report the facts to President Washington. Will remain at Augusta until Monday of the next week. People of Cumberland River, because some of their families were murdered, have a just cause of complaint against the Creeks; insist that effectual measures be taken to prevent all acts of hostility and plunder.
