notable phrase
Until therefore [McGillivray] shall throw off the mask entirely, we ought apparently treat him as our firm friend
but at the same time to keep an eagle's eye upon all his conduct...It will therefore become expedient in future that you should, or some other person or persons, take up actual residence within the Creek nation, at least for a considerable portion of the year, and it is h oped the Congress will make an adequate allowance as a salary.
