[permanent principles.] I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant. Edw^d. Telfair. The Secretary of War. State House Augusta, 13^th August 1793. Sir, Since my last letter to you dated the 30^th Ult^o. I have convened a council of General Officers, on the subject of redeeming the five inimical towns in the Creek nation; the propositions with their answers I do myself the honor of transmitting for the purpose of being laid before the President of the United States. If the agent for supplies can draw forth resources, I flatter myself the objects may be accomplished on a scale more circumscribed. A map of the Creek nation furnished by the surveyor General of this State is also enclosed. I have the honor to be, Sir your most obedient servant. Edw^d. Telfair. The Secretary of War. Government House Augusta Thursday 8^th. August 1793 In conformity to notification the General Officers attended. At
