"Since my last, containing an account of the peace which had taken place between the Creeks and Chickasaws, that perfidious and deceitful nation has broken it, and marched upwards of a 1000 warriors against the small and friendly nation of Chickasaws. How this business will terminate, I am at a loss to conjecture -- but I am informed the Chickasaws are strongly fortified, keep a look out, and are determined to give the Creeks a warm reception. What a shame it is that the United States will suffer such warm friends to them as the Chickasaws are, and have always been to be cut off by the Creeks -- friendship and humanity shudder at the idea of their not meeting full and ample protection, as the vengeance of the Creeks is pointed against them on account of their revenging the many murders and depredations committed on their brethren the Americans."
