Savannah Oct^r 16^th 1795 Sir, Inclosed is an extract of a letter written to me by Brigadier Gen^l Morrison with the copy of an Affidavit of Ben^ja Kitchen — likewise the extract of a letter from B Gen^l Seagrove to M Gen^l Wayne inclosed to me by the last mentioned Officer. I have thought it proper to forward this intelligence by Water as a Vessel is just sailing for Philadelphia & I understand the Gov is not at Augusta; which circumstance added to the delay of the Post might otherwise prevent this disagreeable information from reaching you for a considerable period — The frontier is in a state of Alarm & I fear many of the settlers will break — I have flattered the Midway settlement — one of the richest in this State and mentioned in Kitchen's affidavit with the prospect of support from the Artillery, as we understand that a peace has been concluded between the U States & the Northern Indians — It is highly unfortunate for our lower settlements that whether the fault lays with the Whites or Indians retaliation for losses by the latter is always made on them & what makes the case more hard is that the Indians are never injured or disturbed by those Settlers. I have the honor to be &c Savannah Oct^r 16 1795 The Sec^ry. War J^s Jackson U States Major Gen^l
