On compensation for death of David Cornell, planned meeting of 10 September 1793, Spaniards, Governor Telfair's meetings with militia Generals, the killing of Cherokees in Southwest Territory
Description
From Savannah, Seagrove discusses the manner of compensation for death of David Cornell and an Indian youth. Relates that the deaths of Captain Fleming and Mr Moffett at the robbery and murder at Traders Hill St Marys, from which no satisfaction has been obtained, are therefore roughly compensated for by Cornell's death. Spaniards continue to stir up the disaffected towns. Governor Telfair continues to meet with his militia Generals. Seagrove reports that he has not received reply from Governor. From Augusta paper, reports of wanton outrage against Cherokees in Governor Blount's Southwest Territory, committed by Captain John Beard at the Hanging Maw's house. Anticipates fresh trouble as a result.
