Aggression by Creek Indians

General Robertson comments on the murder of Colonel Isaac Fitzworth and his family by Creek Indians, along the waters of Red River. Seven persons total were killed and scalped. This, along with other expressions of aggression, "proves the information given us by the Chickasaws, that the Creeks had declared publicly their intensions of distressing this district, or, if able, to extirpate it altogether." Robertson wants Congress to take direct measures to counter the Creeks, and prevent them from attacking frontier settlements. The United States has friendly relations with the Chickasaw and Cherokee.
