of what is going forward! They have run M^r Whitbank out of the nation and he has dared not towards the Cherokees and Imagine means to get to Detroit. All I can say at this time is for the frontiers to be as well guarded as possible, as from one thing to another it may grow worse, than that sent out from the upper brecks I thought was through the persuasion of a White man in that quarter, which the heads of the Upper brecks, say if proved on him shall be killed for it, this times makes the young wicked inclined yet lean out and start home and that is no stopping them which I fear will be a principal means of making matters worse as some of them will before long undoubtedly get killed as I hardly know how they have stopped it so long, as whats been done is insufferable, a little time hence will convince us how matters are to be, War or Peace, Have done all I can to open the eyes of those shortsighted patches, but it seems all to be in vain, with some of them after so much lenity shown them by the President of the United States. There is near on two thousand gone out in our body against the Chickaman of the Upper brecks, which I imagine will give them a hard stick, they we know the Chickasaws are all fortied at a place called the Chicksaw Bluff on the bank of the Mississippi. Am at present much hurried, just coming off a Sleigh— Surgeon— shall be punctual in sending you any necessary information in my power. you have all here that more is not at present worth mentioning Sir Yours (Signed) Timothy Barnard
