War department June 11 1793 Sir, The President of the United States has received authentic information from Georgia of the unprovoked and cruel outrages of parties of Creeks upon the frontiers of that State. And as it is at present uncertain to what degree the evils complained of may be extended, the President has directed me to request your Excellency that in case the frontiers of Georgia should be seriously invaded by large bodies of hostile Indians that you would upon the request of the Governor of the said State direct such parties of the Militia of the State of South Carolina to march to the assistance of Georgia as the case may require; for the expences of which the United States will be responsible. The Militia to provide themselves with provisions to the places of rendezvous which shall be appointed by the Governor of Georgia where arrangements for further supply will be made by the Contractors for the Continental Troops. I have the honor to be &c (Sincd.) H Knox Secretary
