War Department July 19th 1793
Sir,
Your Excellency's letters of the 12th and 18th ulto have been received and submitted to the President of the United States.
The reasons given by his order in my letter of the 20th of May last still operate to prevent any departure from the line of conduct therein specified, and it is to be hoped from no information having been received of any late depredations of the Creeks, that they may be brought to a sense of their crimes, and be prevailed upon to give up at least some of the authors thereof.
The Swords and Equipments for the hundred horse could not be completed by the manufacturers until this time. They are now sent together with the arms and accoutrements and ammunition contained in the enclosed list.
The Public have no horsemen's swords in store — some are in train of being mounted, which will be finished with all possible expedition. As soon as one hundred are mounted application will be made to the President for permission to forward them to Georgia.
This letter will be delivered by Captain Constant Freeman, who is ordered into Georgia as an agent of this department to regulate the issues of public property to the troops who may be in the service of the United States, and to prevent or remedy any abuses which exist or may arise hereafter.
I have the honor to be &c—
Governor Telfair.
