Location of capital; Alexander McGillivray and Creek Chiefs' visit to New York

Mr. Finney begs Harmar to accept thanks. Is pleased that Captain Beatty has nearly accomplished his business. Was acquainted with Major Jackson as a clever fellow, but his recent conduct leaves his employers greatly mortified. Newspapers report the debates of Congress on the Grand Question of a permanent or temporary residence. Favorers of the measure, such as Mr. Morris, have been caricatured. The Great Mr. McGillivray, King of the Creeks, with a retinue of thirty princes and warriors expected in New York this evening. If the United States can attach him to their interest, it will relieve the Georgians. Secretary of War Knox is hurt that his plan to raise officer pay was not adopted. Officers must be economists to support themselves. Compliments to Mrs. Harmar.
