Title
Speech of the Lower Creek chiefs the Hallowing King of the Cowetas and Fat King of Cussetahs.
Description
Beloved man from Congress was here. Mr McGillivray came over here and matters were settled. Expected that Mr. White would inform the State of Georgia. You always promised that the innocent should not suffer for the guilty. We knew nothing of these bad people or the mischief of the upper towns. Had a meeting with northern Indians lately. Told them we had settled matters with Virginians and could not go to war. Consider us as friends. We did not join the English against you.
