Sir,
[undecipherable] You are acquainted with Mr [undecipherable: Seagrove?]; [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [journeyed?] to Philadelphia. Unfortunately he left [undecipherable] Georgia before my letter of the 2d [undecipherable] July [undecipherable] for calling the Creek [undecipherable] and [undecipherable] thus circumstance and the [undecipherable] of [undecipherable] Seagrove [undecipherable] as it [rendered?] it impossible to hold the [undecipherable] [undecipherable]. Mr [undecipherable: Seagrove?] [undecipherable: reported?] that in October the Warriors were [undecipherable] [undecipherable] their hunting, and [undecipherable] [undecipherable: despised?] [undecipherable] in next March: [undecipherable] [undecipherable: whatever?] efforts should be used to collect them to a treaty during the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] form, a partial assembly only [undecipherable: could?] be obtained: and you have per[undecipherable] by [undecipherable: former?] communications that this would be repugnant to the Presidents' views; which were, by universal notice, and a comple[undecipherable] [undecipherable] of the [undecipherable], to [undecipherable] [undecipherable: Governor?] of Georgia
to [undecipherable] [undecipherable] about the [undecipherable] in favor of the treaty that might be made. The President has therefore determined [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable: knowing?] the [undecipherable] of Georgia [undecipherable] [undecipherable: subject?] [undecipherable] to postpone the treaty till the [undecipherable: Spring?]. Mr [undecipherable: Seagrove?] thinks the first of May the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] for a [undecipherable: general?] meeting to be [undecipherable: obtained?] in [undecipherable] [undecipherable] that [undecipherable: Colerain?] on the [undecipherable] will be [undecipherable] the most [undecipherable: eligible?] place. [undecipherable] of the [undecipherable] in [undecipherable] [undecipherable] you will [undecipherable: hereafter be duly advised] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] with great respect [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable]
