[The Secretary of War / To Gov. Blount / June 22. 1795.] [No 1.] Sir My last to you was of the 28^th of May, by Col Henley's express. Since which I received no intelligence from you. On the 20^th instant I received a letter from James Seagrove Esq covering the Talk of Several Creek chiefs which are very interesting to the Citizens on all our South eastern frontiers particularly to the Inhabitants of the South western Territory: I therefore now send you Copies thereof. They have the appearances of candour; but how far the interference of the Cumberland People in the difference between the Creeks & Chickasaws, in aid of the latter, may change the good dispositions of the Creeks, remains to be Seen. The declaration of the Mad Dog & his Warrior, that for the injuries received from the Chickasaws [underline: Satisfaction] is all they want & not war, corresponds with my opinion expressed in my letter to you of the 23^d of March last. The repetition of aggression on the part of the Chickasaws, in killing ten [undecipherable] cannot fail of increasing the Spirit of [undecipherable] and if the Creeks find the Cumberland people from the Chickasaws it will not be Strange if they are made to Suffer with them. I am respectfully Sir, Your most obed^t Servant Signed Timothy Pickering Governor Blount.
