[ans in sparks] [32] [22 July] [col p.] The Secretary of War 1796 [105,] Your letter of the 18^th instant with its enclosures, came to hand by the last Mail. — Such of the latter, as are original, I here-with return to your Office. It would appear from the extract of M^r Habersham's letter, that the Treaty (or rather meeting) between the Georgians and Creek Indians, has terminated unfavour-ably, and will tend, it is to be fear-ed, to hostilities. — A favorable result could not have been predicted from the Speech of the Georgia Commission-ers, at their commencement of the business with the Indian Chiefs; — and it having ended without a cesse [strikethrough: on of land] disappointed, I shall be agreeably, if there are not other means, soon used to get possession of them. — By the letters from General Wilkinson and Cap^t [undecipherable: Brou?], I expect the Western Posts will soon be in our possession; and I hope proper measures will be adopted to keep the Garrisons well supplied with Provisions and Military Stores. — Mount Vernon 22^d July 1796 G.
