Failure to meet demands in aftermath of robbery and murder at Traders Hill, St Marys

Seagrove expresses disappointment that the friendly leadership of the Creeks has not been able to hand over the culprits involved in the murder and robbery at Traders Hill at St Marys. Warns them that to make enemies with United States spells ruin for Creek Nation. Creeks cannot expect mercy when acting such as this. Seagrove is heartened by the good conduct of so many Creeks; such towns will receive protection. To the Cussetah and other friendly towns, Seagrove asks that the inhabitants stay in the towns for their safety. Mr Bernard will stay with the Cussetahs. Advises Creeks to stay away from Spaniards and any others of such ilk, since they have the ruin of the Creeks in view. Seagrove notes that the United States has made peace with the northern tribes [an inaccuracy-Federal Commissioners will not begin proceedings at Sandusky until later in the summer] and relates that as a result, U.S. warriors are not employed there.
