I now have sufficient images to produce the transcription. Based on the pages visible across all images (pages 98–120 of the BCA01 document), here is the transcription: to the cuffetcks. [undecipherable] the termination of the falls; and the fish are taken with the seour nets. The fish taken here are the hickory shad, rock, trout, pearch, catfish, suckers. There is sturgeon in the river but no white shad or herring. During the Spring and Summer they catch the pearch and rock with hooks. As soon as the fish make their appearance the chiefs send out the women and men to fish for the Square. This appropriation includes all the chiefs and warriors of the town. The land on the right bank of the [undecipherable: the falls] is a poor [undecipherable] barren to the waters edge. The pines small. The falls continue 3 or 4 miles nearly the [undecipherable] same width. 126 Yards [undecipherable] river then [undecipherable] [undecipherable] twice that [undecipherable] the bottom gravel, shoals & rocks. [undecipherable] are several made [undecipherable] within this scope; one at the point where the expansion commences rich and some part of it under cultivation. It is half a mile in length but narrow. Here the river is fordable; enter the left bank one hundred above the upper end of the Island, and cross over to it; and down to the fields thence cross the other channel. At the termination of the falls a creek 20 feet wide [undecipherable] court [undecipherable] falls creek, joins the right side of the river just below this creek and another [undecipherable] reef of rocks [undecipherable] found. The In ascending the river on this side on the river with travelling travelling at the rate of 3 miles the hour the following distances are noted. from 1.30. Cross a creek, to the right, running 3 feet wide the land the whole distance poor broken and unfit for culture. 12. Some settlements on the river bank at [undecipherable], [undecipherable], thick, & the land is stiff & rich. 58. Cross [undecipherable] Caᵥnaᵥ ne/ Crooked creek running to the right ten feet wide land good and stiff, oak, hickory and a few poplars. 99. Chat,te,hat,che / Strong creek/ running to the right ten feet wide; the land broken and poor, there is one settlement at the path and over the creek. 49 Woe,coo,che/ calf creek/ over [undecipherable] pine, willow leaved hickory & [undecipherable] the land bordering on the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] ne mile to the poor [undecipherable] barren and is fine for corn or cotton. The timber is oak, hickory and pine. The banks of the river of this side the river are [undecipherable] on this side below the falls are 50 feet high and continue so below the town house. The flat of good land continues still lower to Hat,che,thlu,co / big creek/. Ascending the river on this bank above the falls the following stages are noted in miles. 2.½ the flat land terminates; thence 3.½ to Chiffe hul,cah, running to the left; thence 4. to Ohyoe thlu,co 20 feet wide a rocky bottom 5. to Ke,ta,le 90 feet wide a bold shoaly rocky creek abounding in moss. Three miles up this creek there is a village of ten families at hat,che Wy,au/[undecipherable] the land is broken [undecipherable] pine & Chestnut. Cane on the borders of the creek and cane in the branches. Some settlements of cow,etuh proper are made on these Branches. Creeks all who have settled out from the town have fixed their [undecipherable] [undecipherable] to their [undecipherable]. The town has a temporary fencing of 3 poles. The first confines the other two on stakes good against cattle outside the town fields are fenced in like manner. A few of the fields detached from the town have good fences. The temporary town three pole fences are made every spring or repaired in a slovenly manner. M^r Marshall the trader here has set up a manufactory of cotton cloth, at the recommendation of the agent. The cotton raised by him the last season is fine; it is the Green seed. The experiment was commenced with the green seed, and this year the black seed of the coast has been tried. It is very good but the season too short for it, altho' there was no frost this year 1799 until the 13^th of November. In high rich sandy land it will certain [undecipherable] success. The Tradersher [undecipherable] with spirit the plan of the government. They have made good gardens, [undecipherable] their fields, [undecipherable] they have this year raised [undecipherable] how,e,tuk, tat,lau, haf,see, from Cow,etuh,tal,of,au a town, and haf,see, old. It is 2½ miles below Cowetuh on the right bank of the river. On going down the path between the two towns, near half a mile cross Ko,te,Re,by,au 10 feet wide; running to the left, a fine little creek sufficient large for a mill, in all but the dry season. On the right bank enter the flat lands between the towns; these are good, oak, hard shell hickory and pine. They extend two miles to the leaving [undecipherable] a small creek 5 feet wide bordering on the town. The town is half a mile from the river on the right bank of the creek. It is on a high flat, bordered on the E. by the flats of the river, and W. by the high broken hills. They have but a few houses in the town. The fields are on a [undecipherable] of land ¾ of a mile below the town which is very rich and has been long under cultivation. They have no fences around their fields. Here is the publick establishment for the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] He has a garden well cultivated and planted with a great variety of vegetable fruits and vines, and an Orchard of Peach trees. Arrangements have been made to fence 200 acres of land fit for cultivation & to introduce a regular husbandry, to serve as a model and stimulous to the neighbouring towns, who crowd the publick shops here at all seasons when the hunters are not in the woods. The agent entertains doubts already of succeeding here in establishing a regular husbandry from the difficulty of changing the old habits of indolence and sitting whole days in the Squares which seems peculiarly rivetted on the inhabitants of the towns. In the event of not succeeding he intends moving the establishment out from the town and aid the villagers where success seems infallible. They estimate the number of their gunmen at 100, but the agent has ascertained by [undecipherable] including all who reside here and in the villages belonging to the town. They have a fine body of land below and adjoining the town nearly two thousand acres and all well timbered; and enclosed all [undecipherable] and below they have more than there is sufficient for the accommodation of the whole town. They have one village belonging to the town: We,tum,cau. 2^d We,tum,cau, from We,wau water and tum,cau tumbling. It is the main branch of [undecipherable] creek, and is 12 miles N. S.W. from the town. These people have a small town house on a pine pine Ridge on the left bank of the creek below the falls. The Settlers extend up the creek for three miles, and they cultivate the rich flats of the creek. There is cane on the [undecipherable] and fine reed on the branches. The [undecipherable] of the creek and on its branches growing pine, and pine oak and hickory, fine for cultivation on the flats [undecipherable] [undecipherable] and some of the Settlers have cattle and hogs and begun to be attentive to them, and they have been advised to spread out their settlements on the waters of this creek and to increase their attention to Stock of every kind. 3 Cuf,Se,tuh this town is two & a half miles from Cow,etuh tal,lau, haf,see on the left bank of the river. They claim the land above the falls on their side. In ascending the river path from the falls in 3 miles [undecipherable] cross the creek running to the right 20 feet wide; this creek joins the river ¼ of a mile from the cow,etuh town house. The land to this creek is good and level and extends back from the river from ¼ to ¾ of a mile to the pine forest. The growth on the level is oak, hickory and pine. Some ponds and [undecipherable] back next to the pine forest, bordering on a branch that runs parallel with the river. [undecipherable] the creek has its source nearly 20 miles from the river and runs nearly parallel with it, and all within one mile of its junction [undecipherable] it makes a first bend N. then W. to the river at the second bend about [undecipherable] ¼ from the river a fine little Spring creek joins on the right bank. At the first bend north there is a mill seat. The water might here be stopped with a dam and taken across at a little expense of labour to the river and the mill might either be here or at the river. About one mile up from the bend there is another good mill seat in the neighbourhood of the pine forest. The flat of good land on the East continues 2½ miles below [undecipherable] creek, the Cus,te,tuh fields to Hat,che,tluc,co [undecipherable] the entrance of the fields on the right [undecipherable] there is an oblong mound of earth. [undecipherable] the quantity of [undecipherable] river a considerable [undecipherable] 25 feet high and flat at the top. [undecipherable] on the right W. side and [undecipherable] on the S. From the top of this mound they have a fine view of the river, and the flat land on the river on both sides and all the field of 1000 acres. The river makes a short bend round to the right opposite this mound, and there is a good ford just below the point. It is not easy to mistake the ford. As there is a flat on the left of [undecipherable] and sand, the waters rolls rapidly over the sand and the eye on the first view fixes on the most fordable part. There are two other fords below this which communicate between the fields on both sides of the river. The river from the point curves round to the W. then to the E. the second ford is below this turn and at the lower [undecipherable] of a [undecipherable] Island. [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] side enter the river 40 Yards below the Island, and go up to the point of it, then turns down as the [undecipherable] and land 60 Yards below. This is the best ford. The [undecipherable] is still lower from 4 to 6 hundred Yards. The land back from the fields to the E. rises 20 feet and continues flat for one mile to the pine forest. Back of the fields adjoining the rise of 20 feet is a beaver pond of 40 acres capable of being drained at a small expense of labour. The large creek bounds the fields and the flat land to the S. Continuing down the river from the creek the land rises to a high flat formerly the Cus,etuh towns and afterwards a Chic,a,saw town. This flat is intersected with one branch [undecipherable] the Southern border of this flat the Cus,etuh [undecipherable] is above [undecipherable] on a flat just above [undecipherable] flood mark, surrounded with this flat to the N. and E. and the river to the W. The land about the town is poor and much exhausted; they cultivate but little here of early corn. The principal dependance is on the rich fields above the creek. To call them rich must be understood in a limited sense; they have been but being cultivated beyond the memories of the Oldest man in Cus,e,tuh. They are almost exhausted. The produce is brought from the fields to the town in canoes or on horseback. They make barely a sufficiency of corn for their support. They have no fences around their fields and a fence of three poles tied to upright stakes for their potatoes. The land [undecipherable] the river [undecipherable] [undecipherable] The people of Cus,s,etuh associate more than any other Indians, with their white neighbours and without obtaining any advantage from it. They know not the Season for planting, or if they do, they never avail themselves of what they know, as they always plant a month too late. This town with its villages is the largest of the lower creeks. The people hereabouts have been friendly to white people and are fond of visiting them. The [undecipherable] chiefs are very orderly men and much occupied in governing their own gunmen; who are rude and disorderly in proportion to the intercourse they have had with the white people. They [undecipherable] often complain of the intercourse young people have with the white people, as being [undecipherable] prejudicial to their morals. That they are more liable [undecipherable] are inclined to be thievish and more difficult to govern than those who do not associate with them. The Settlements belonging to the town are spread out on the right side of the river. Here they appear to be industrious, have forked fences and more land enclosed than they can cultivate. One of them deserves to be particularly named: Mic,Emaut,lau this old chief with his own labour has made a good wooden fence and built himself a comfortable house. They have but a few peach trees in and about the towns. The main trading path from the upper towns passes through here. They estimate their [undecipherable] of gunmen [undecipherable] Aus,put,taue a village of Cuf,e,tuh 2 miles from the river on hat,che,thluc,co. They have good fences and the settlers under the best characters of any among the towns here. They estimate their gunmen at 43. On a visit here the Agent for Indian affairs was met by all the men of the house of Tup,se, Riah Mie,co, that chief addressed him in these words. "Here I am glad to see you; this is my wife and these are my children they are glad to see you." [undecipherable] are the men of the village, we have 40 of them in all; they are glad to see you. You are [undecipherable] among those on whom you may rely. I have been six years at this village and we have not a man here or belonging to our village, who ever stole a horse, or did any injury to a [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] No. The village is in the forks of Hat,ke,thlu,co and the situation well chosen. The land is rich on the margins of the creeks & the cane flats, the timber large poplar, white oak & hickory. The uplands to the South, are the long leaf pine and to the N. waving oak, pine and hickory. Cane on the creeks and reed in all the branches. At this village and at the house of Jus,so Hiah Mie,co the agent for Indian affairs had introduced the plough and a farmer was hired in 1799 to tend a crop of corn with so good success as to induce several of the villagers to prepare their fields for the plough. Some of them have cattle, hogs and horses, and are attentive to them. The range is a good one, but cattle and horses require Salt. They have some thriving peach trees at several of the settlements. [undecipherable] an [undecipherable] that [undecipherable] [undecipherable] belongs to Mie,co thlu,co, called by [undecipherable] people the "bird tail king." The plantation is on the right side of the creek, in good land in the neighbourhood of [undecipherable] forest. The creek is a fine flowing [undecipherable] margined with reeds. The plantation well fenced and cultivated with the plough. This chief had been on a visit to New York and saw much of the ways of white people and the advantages of the plough over the Hoe and laborious hand hoe. Yet he had not firmness enough till this year to break them of the old habits of Indians. The agent paid him a visit during 1799 with a plough completely fixed and spent a day with him [undecipherable] shewed him how to use it. He [undecipherable] iously while the old man was absent and prevailed on the family [undecipherable] the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] of a numerous family. who have more than doubled their crop of corn and potatoes; and who began to know how to turn their corn to advantage by giving it to their hogs. This micco and his family have hogs, cattle & horses; and began to be very attentive to them. He has some apple and peach trees and grape vines a present from the agent. The cuf,e,tuhs have some cattle, hogs and hogs but they prefer roving idly through the woods and down on the frontiers to attending to farming or Stock Raising. On these three towns just described has had a powerful stimulus in the operations adopted by the agent for his supplies. Heretofore there was no market for provisions. The want of [undecipherable] [undecipherable] were [undecipherable] [undecipherable] There is now a regular market and weights and measures are introduced. To call the supply of a single table a regular market requires some explanation. The annual expenses of the agents table for the three last years has been 2799 dollars and in 1799 the articles were paid for in money and merchandise 1500 dollars of money and 1750 of the latter. This was more than could be supplied by the three towns. The prices established were dollars Pork Gross pr cent . . . . . 3 pork nett per hundred. . . . . 4 Bacon ditto . . . 10 Beef ditto . . . . 3 corn pr bushel . . . . . 50 Potatoes. . . . . 50 pumpkins. . . . .

The flat extends from one to two miles back from the river. Above the town and bordering on it [undecipherable] creek 85 feet wide joins the river. Opposite the town house on the left bank of the river there is a narrow slip of flat lands from 50 to 100 Yards wide then high, pine barren hills. These people speak a tongue different from the creeks. They were formerly settled in small villages at Poupon, Salt,kitchen, [undecipherable]ke, chuh/ Silver bluff and [undecipherable] chee, chuh/ and continually at war with other Cherokees E,tau,lau, & Creeks. In 1729 an old chief of Cuf,se,tuh called by the white people Capt Ellicks married 3 [undecipherable] women and brought them to Cuf,se,tuh, which was greatly disliked by his towns people. The opposition determined him to move from Cuf,se,tuh. He went down opposite where the town now is, and settled with his brothers; two of whom had Uchee wives. He after this collected all the Uchees gave them the lands where their towns now [undecipherable] and there they settled. These people are more civil and orderly than their neighbours; their women are chaste and the men better hunters. They retain all their original customs and [undecipherable] and have adopted none of the Creeks. They have some woven fences in and about their towns, and [undecipherable] fine peach [undecipherable]. They have lately begun to settle out villages and are industrious compared with their neighbours. The men take [undecipherable] in their attachment to their women than is usual among red people. The number of gunmen has been variously estimated; they do not exceed 250 including all who are settled in villages of which they have three. 1.^st In,tuch,cul,gau, from in,tuck,the [undecipherable] dam cross water and Ulyan all applied to beaver dams, this is on Flint,thlu,co 28 miles from its junction with Flint river. This creek is 60 feet wide at its mouth, 1½ miles above Timothy Barnards. The lands bordering on the creek up to the village is good. Eight miles below the village the good land spreads out for 4 or 5 miles on both sides of the creek, here [undecipherable] woods/ Tus,kan,nau,pe/ the adjoin land is good pine land. The range fine for cattle. Cane on the creek and reed on all the branches.
