[remainder undecipherable] --- Commissioners letter 1 July 1796 Copy of the treaty concluded 29^th ulto. The Creeks came there with a determination not to part with any of their land. This was the result of the whole nation before the representation left it. The commissioners were not apprised of this till some after their answer was given to the commissioners of Georgia. Find from the present temper of the citizens of Georgia that it is indispensably necessary that the posts and garrisons should be out of the jurisdiction of the State — without this no prospect of peace on the frontiers. The stipulations in the treaty to this end pleasing to them, and the chiefs think, well, when they explain will be so to the whole nation. "Since signing the treaty several of the chiefs have urged that the President should cause the line to be run as soon as possible. "They request that the lands around the posts may not be marked, but that the cattle may. "We have promised that they shall hear from the President in four months. "The relations of the [strikethrough: in party] persons murdered by Harrison became with the expectations of seeing the murderers executed. The principal chiefs consulted with us [privately], to know what to do and say to the relations of the murdered. They told us yesterday they should expect the advice of the Pres'd. when he sent a man to run the line. And they would in the mean time follow our advice; and then, they would follow his." They urge that the guilty may be punished. "They solicited us to pay for the property lost at the line, and to direct them to take charge of it and deliver it to the relations of the deceased. We have promised it." "We explained the line with Spain — yet further explanation will be necessary. They have agreed that this explanation be sent from the Pres. with the plan of trade; and that after he has seen what is done here that he will have the whole explained in their land."
