Title
Bad Doings of the Creeks and Cherokees
Description
Piamingo warns Smith of the depredations of the Creeks and Cherokees and wonders why the Americans even bother to treat with Indians that will be at war with them until they are defeated. They have even invited the Chickasaws and Choctaws to join them in a war against the United States.

notable phrase
I have often told you of the bad doings of the Creeks and Cherokees, which I am sure they will not cease to continue till they feel the weight of the white people which I hope will not be long...But my brother, I hardly know what you mean by treating with tribes that are always at war with you, and will be until you whip them
perhaps you then may have a treaty with them that will keep the peace.
