War Department June 10^th 1793. Sir, Your letters of the 17^th and 19^th of April, and the 6^th of May have been received with their several enclosures, and submitted to the President of the United States. The information which has been received of the depredations of the Creeks, is extremely mortifying, no just cause for this conduct being known to the Government. It would appear from a letter of the Governor of Georgia that he has called into service a considerable body of Militia and encamped them at Shoulderbone. It is however to be hoped that the necessity for this measure will be of short continuance. But the Governor has been authorized on behalf of the President of the United States to call into service in addition to the regular troops one hundred horse and one hundred militia with the following Officers— the horse one Captain, two Lieutenants, two Cornets, six Sergeants, six Corporals, one Farrier, one Trumpeter and eighty six dragoons. And the Infantry, one Captain, one Lieutenant, one Ensign, six Sergeants, six corporals, one drum, one fife and eighty six privates, to be engaged to serve until the first of June 1794, and to act under your orders. The pay of your detachment will be remitted by Captain Constant Freeman, who will go to Georgia in the capacity of public agent, this money will be issued agreeably to the regulations pointed out by the accountant of this department. The clothing of your detachment for the present year shall be shortly forwarded to Savannah. You will still continue to be governed by the principles of moderation in calling militia into service as heretofore in case circumstances should authorize you to call into service an additional number to the before mentioned one hundred horse and one hundred foot. I have the honor &c Major Gaither}
