From Tuckabachee; letter from Alexander Cornell to Creek Indian Agent James Seagrove on the robbery and murder at St Marys

Cornell sorry about the mischief done at St Marys [the robbery and murder of whites at Traders Hill at Robert Seagrove's store]. Mad Dog and David Cornell uneasy about what to do. Had high hopes for peace. Mentions great father General Washington. Have thrown away Spaniard's talks; although Creeks friends with Spaniards, do not take talk against United States. There would be peace if everyone exerted selves like Mad Dog, heads of upper towns, and Mr Weatherford. Sent white man with talks to Seagrove; the only man who has done anything for Creeks. Ash has not done anything for Seagrove. Grason has been giving Indians talks to go to war. Asks for advice on what to do with such people.
