We have sent off to have Galphim and Upton taken for fear they should make their escape— We have agreed to give up two Red men from the Chichaus, two from Burgess Town, and one from the point. If we had got the letters sooner you should have had the murderers by the time you mention, but you must allow us longer time for it is the wish of the Upper Towns to do it— This will be a warning to the young people, then they will mind what their head men says to them and not before. Tuchabache 8^th April 1793. Dear friend and Brother, This comes from your Brothers, the Mad Dog, The White Lieutenant, David Connell. Alexander Connell, M^r. Weatherford, and thirteen othe Headmen of the Upper Creeks, who all agree with one talk together— That David Connell and the Headmen of the Upper Towns, and Warriors all agree to your talk, and mean to hold them fast by the hand, and never to let it go as long as they live. You heard the Northern Indians was among us but we never listened to any of their talks, nor would suffer any of them to give any out among our people, for we don't want to shed any White People's blood, for I have got the White People's blood in me— We intend to go to War against the Chickasaw, and if we don't we will come again to see you— We formerly went to war against the Cumberland people, but since we heard your talk we don't intend to go to War against them any more. The Mad dog's brother and Nephew went into a traders house in the Chickasaws, and they killed them both. We mean to have satisfaction, for if they had killed them in the woods me might try to make it up but killing them as they did we cannot put up with it. M^r Seagrove— you told us to keep peace with all Nations which we meant to do, but our colour began first and hurt us greatly. Dear friend and Brother. We are going to send our feathers by our white man— There has some mischief been done your way, but we have not heard the truth of it— Yet if there has been any done it is more than any of us Upper Towns did know. Our friend and father General Washington has sent us talks several times, which we always took and mean to do. If there is any mischief done your way, I hope you wont blame the Upper Towns for we don't know any thing about it. We wish to have a wide path down to you that our women and children may travel down to you— it is the wish of the upper Towns that it should be so— The Tuchabachee Town and the rest of the head men, have taken your talk, and mean to live by them as long as you and the Brothers of the United States exist. M^r Seagrove— My name is the Mad dog that is going to send these talks to you, and when you see my talk it is all the same as if you seen me, and when I see your talks it is all the same as if I seen you— I hope when you see my [underline: Belts] you will see an everlasting peace and friendship with our great Father General Washington, and our Brothers of the United States— The one stripe for General Washington— the one for M^r Seagrove— and the other for the Brothers of the United States— M^r Seagrove, I send the Belts as our Talks, for it is our way of shewing our friendship as long as we live— The other Belt is for M^r Seagrove and his lady. Jalway listen to your talks and mean to do so, and all my people. M^r Seagrove I hope your heart is in a good place, for if there is any thing that is in it let me know and I will ease it if I can; if the lower Towns have done mischief you shall have satisfaction for it, for we Upper Towns all agree to it at our meeting— An Answer from you shall be immediately obeyed, so no more at present from the Mad dog the White Lieutenant of the Oakfushees &c. [Copy of a Letter from A Connell. Tuchabache 8^th April 1793.] Dear friend & Brother. I take the opportunity to write by the bearer to let you know I am sorry to hear that there has been mischief done at St. Marys— I have never heard the truth of it yet. As soon as I heard any thing of it I sent off runners to the Upper Towns and the Lower Towns to have a meeting about it, but the half way house King stopped our breaking day from going down to the Lower Towns. This was the reason that none of the Headmen of the Lower Towns was at the meeting. The Mad dog, myself and David Connell are so uneasy about it we do not know what to do— We had great hopes our nation was getting very happy, for they had taken your talks, and our great father General Washingtons, and mean to hold it fast as long as we live, for we have thrown away the Spaniards talk— We hold them by the hands as friends yet, but not to take any of their talk against the United
