notable phrase
The enclosed extract from General Robertson's letter will inform you of the supplies he has made to the Chickasaws--There are various reports in circulation respecting the war between them and the Creeks but that none can be depended on as certain--Among others it is said that the Choctaws have joined the Chickasaws--it is not certain though I believe it.
