friend, and always have been, if any thing was to happen him to me inform you — and if any thing was to happen your side, you was to let me know likewise. I have sent you this talk, and wish for you to send this talk to your brother Officers above and below you, that they may be upon their guard, against any thing that may happen. This town has talked and wished for peace, and to have things settled to the satisfaction of both sides. It is only this one town that is led astray by the oblicrate king, which is not to be govern'd or advis'd. It is a pity our nation and your country should suffer by a party of bad people. I send you now to let you know my talk, that you may expect Bloodshed in a few days, which I advise you to guard yourselves as much as possible, and if they should do mischief punish them as you think proper, fight them, but do not come over this side the river unless you find them coming upon you. Friend, brother and father, the Cusitalas people are your friends and are always praying backwards and forwards of hunting and do not wish to be troublesome to any person. We have not taken any bad talks, if there should be any Blood shed on our hands. We have it neither, will you find us in your town, on any determination. My young people are not upon this side, the Creeks if you should see any of them. They are friends do not hurt them. My town and all the other towns are sitting still waiting the talks of Major Seagrove when he comes up. This our last town has brought us into this trouble you know. Your friend and brother Signed Bird King Cusitalas King
