Letter from Charles Weatherford to Indian Agent James Seagrove on the death of General McGillivray and prospects for peace in the aftermath

Charles Weatherford informs Indian James Seagrove that General McGillivray died on 17 Feb at 11pm, 1793 at Mr Douton's in Pensacola. Weatherford says that he was immediately sent for by Governor ONeal and Mr Panton. Weatherford won't reveal on what business, but will give a full account later. Indians at present are at peace with United States; wish to remain so. Mad Tom of Cupetah has arrived and speaks highly of Seagrove. Weatherford reports that heads of upper towns look forward to meeting Seagrove. With a little trouble and good conduct, peace will prevail with United States, depending on a man who has considerable influence. Spaniards will likely send an emissary to disturb the Indians. Chickasaws and [Creeks] are going to war against each other. Weatherford says he can continue or stop the war, depending on what Seagrove wishes. Weatherford pledges support and friendship to Seagrove. Lists items he has given to the headmen (contrary to Seagrove's wishes) are listed. Says he gave out articles on his account to help keep the peace.
