killed, and two wounded; on the Oconer. Having communicated all that appears material at present. I remain Sir &c— Talk from Kinnard and other chiefs. The Cussetah King, The Mad Dog of the Tuchabachees, The White Lieutenant, and myself have sent you an answer to your talk sent by our friend George Galphen. Hetcheta Town, 16^th May 1793. My Friend, When the Indians killed M^r Fleming, and some others on St. Marys, I received a letter from you which surprized me and the rest of your friends very much. We all know very well that when we held the talk with you at the treaty, that if there should be any mischief done on either side, that satisfaction was to be given. But when the people heard they were to be delivered up to you the Tallasee King raised the affair again, and sent out and had more killed, so that we could do nothing in it. The heads of your friends towns were determined to give satisfaction, but after there was so many of your people killed it was out of our power to do any more with them. The names of the Towns that were always against the frontiers is the Cowetas, Broken Arrow, Uchees, Uachees and the Tallasee, there was some of the Euchians that done the first mischief but it was a talk from the Uchees that made them turn out but they have left their Town and have gone and joined the others, and what is left of them is all peaceable and are your friends. I have talked until I am tired, [undecipherable: probable reading "Likewise"] the Cussetah King, and the rest of our headmen, but to no purpose, so that the only plan we have concluded on is to send your people and give them one drubbing and burn their Towns, and drive what property they have out of their land, and without this is done you may depend you never will get satisfaction. The Cussetah is your friends and lives between the Cowetas and the Uchees, and hope they wont be hurt, as they mean to be still. If the white people should come by the Buzzard road, they and the Cussetahs are all one Town. There is a way to cross above the road straight to the Cowetas, but I hope they wont be at a loss for a pilot. There is two men now at the rock landing one for Ireland and one Donnelly that knows every path to this Country. So I would have you do just as we advise you and not to hurt any that lives at the road, and I hope if any should come the road to my house, that the will not frighten our women and children for they might run into the woods and perish. Now my friend, I have advised you all I can, and if you should hurt any of my people roundabout me I will not think well of it. When you send up to take a brush with their towns, perhaps there may be some about that may want to join them and if there should be any and I should be alive, tell them, I will let you know. The five towns is all that is against you which I have mentioned, there is the Tallasee river and the Barre river are all our friends. I am informed General Clark is raising men to come against those Indians, and if he should meet any friendly Indians out a hunting, I hope they wont be hurt. You will oblige me very much where you receive this to send it up immediately to General Clark, and the rest of the Officers on the frontiers. I hope they will will not come this way, that I may be contented in my house, as my people are very The mad people here says that the White people always says they are coming to drive them, and that they cant come, they are afraid. I shall be glad to hear from you. I remain &c Galphin's deposition. Georgia Cambden County. Before me James Seagrove one of the Justices assigned to keep the peace of said County, personally appeared George Galphin being duly sworn deposeth and sayeth, that he was at the house of John Kinnard in the Hitcheta town in the lower Creeks on or about the 9^th instant when a certain James Burges an Indian trader who lives on the lower part of Flent river came to said house in consequence of a letter sent to him some time before by M^r Kinnard accusing said Burges of being knowing the concerned in the murder and robbery at traders hill, on the river S^t. Marys. and said Burges in presence of this deponent, endeavoured to acquit himself of having any part therein; further than that he knew mischief would be done as he then positively declared that three Indians came to his Burges' house who informed him they were direct from Pensacola and sent by the Governor of that place and a M^r Panton a well known Indian trader, partner of the house of Panton Leslie &c: of Florida, with positive directions from those men to take hair (as they term scalping) from the Americans living
