September 26 .^th 1793. Green County

I have this day returned from a tour to the Creek nation, have burnt the huts of one town, killed six Warriors the number wounded uncertain, and took eight prisoners, which I now have at the town of Greensborough.

I now wait the result of your excellency respecting the prisoners, and request that they may be kept at some interior place as the prejudices of the people on the frontier may operate materially against them. The want of [undecipherable] ammunition may and I believe will unless soon remedied be the cause of the frontier in this quarter being evacuated. You will receive the particulars from Brigadier General Jared Irwin.

I am with respect, your Excellency's most obedient servant William Melton, L .^t Col .^o 1 .^st Reg .^t G. COunty Taken from the files of the Executive Attest. W. Urquhart, S. E. D.
