Events with Lower Creeks, Coweta, Broken Arrow, Usuchees and Chehaws

Letter to Seagrove, delivered by Mr Townsend. Reports on meeting held at Tuckabatchee. Upper Creeks agreed to cease hostilities on Georgia and give up property. Cowetas, Broken Arrow, Ussuchees, Chehaws have declined from what they agreed to at the meeting; will not give up property. General Twiggs, Georgia Militia gave talk to Cussetah. Bernard says Twiggs has for most part, been prudent in his dealings with Indians. Seagrove will receive a talk from big half breed or White Lieutenant of Oakfuskees, who has good intentions toward United States. Observes that during Alexander McGillivray's time, White Lieutenant swayed the best part of the upper Creeks. Panton continues to make trouble in undermining peace efforts. Has advised Indians not to give up any property, to insist on protection of John Galphin. Notes that when McGillivray died, Panton lost his tool. No prospects of understanding between Indians and whites as long as Panton continues to carry on trade and enjoys support of Spaniards. Governor O'Neal has left Pensacola, to be replace by Colonel White, who is less likely to tolerate the likes of Panton. Alexander Cornell, halfbreed, has done all he can, but has limited ability. Kinnard similar in this regard. Recommends settling matters without troops for fear of general war; militia generally not under good command of their officers. Fears influence of Spanish Dons in inciting Indians against United States, like the British did with the Shawanese. The troublesome towns could use a scourging. They look down and ridicule the Cussetahs for being slaves to Americans.
