Letter from Alexander Cornell on behalf of self and upper Creeks on the robbery and murder at Traders Hill St Marys

Cornell reports that war is imminent. Old Tallissic [sp] King, and his people are at war, joined by the Colummys. Indians are like mad people; running crazy. Cornell says he has done in the upper towns what Seagrove instructed and there is nothing more to do. Upper towns want peace, except for two towns. This King, who once gave land away; now wants to do mischief against whites. Whatever happens, Cornell asks that Seagrove not blame the upper towns. Cornell reports that he is working on obtaining Galphin and Upton the hostage.
