Events in Aftermath of Robbery and Murder at Traders Hill St Marys

Bernard reports that he has met with Galphin and has sent for the Cussetah King. Most of the murderers and plunderers are concentrated near the Chatahootchee River; Chehaws and Usuchees still keep up the mischief. Towns below [Chatahootchee] are quiet. Cussetahs trying to keep peace. Cussetah King and Kinnard will send Galphin to Seagrove. They recommend sending horsemen above the Cowetas to burn, kill and destroy all they can find. The other towns will not oppose. This remedy could backfire and create a general war if a good commander does not discriminate between friend and foe. Cowetas passed a man shot in the head, ears cut off, and scalped; another man shot through hand. Kinnard thinks the sooner the Cowetas are routed, the better. Six killed at Rock Landing; four killed below Carr's Bluff. General Clark of militia has 2500 men ready to go after the nations. Bernard fears indiscriminate killing. Word has it that Spanish Officers coming through Chickasaws and Creeks. Panton will be there to give talks. Bernard wishes to oppose them, but laments that he has no commission. Most of the towns will not take up arms if they know they will be spared.
