Letter from James Seagrove Creek Indian Agent to Governor Telfair on Creek wishes for peace and request that Governor stop Georgia Militia disruptions of peace efforts

Reporting from Fort Fidius on the Oconee, Seagrove says he is receiving expressions of friendship from the Creeks. Peace with the Creeks on terms of equal justice is the policy of the Federal Government and hopefully it is the wish of the people of Georgia. Seagrove says he will leave for the Creek Towns the next day 23 September 1793. Asks that Telfair put a stop to militia interfering with his peace efforts. Questions whether Telfair knows about the militia parties disrupting his efforts and is doing nothing to stop it. Suggests that Georgia's current policies regarding Indians could bring on a general Indian war for the United States. Suggests that the governor use his power to prevent this from happening.
Spaniards are agents are behaving favorably. Cherokees calling on Creeks for general war. Creeks refused. Northwest frontier of Georgia in danger. Recommends people be alert.
