Town of Tuckabatchee, on the Tallapoosee river, upper Creeks, 30th of November, 1793.
SIR,
It is with pleasure I inform your Excellency, that in consequence of a meeting, which I have had at this place with the chiefs of all the Creek nation, that peace and good understanding is again re-established between the United States, and the said nations.
The Creeks bind themselves to deliver to me all the prisoners in this land; to restore all the negroes, horses and cattle, taken from Georgia for twelve months past; to punish capitally, five or more of their first aggressors. Measures are taken for carrying into effect all these desirable objects; and runners are sent in every direction, to make known the news of peace, and strictly to forbid their people from injuring the persons or property of the people of your state, or of the United States.
I have therefore to request, that your Excellency will lose no time in promulgating this information throughout your state, thereby to prevent any outrage being offered to such Indians as may appear on your frontier, belonging to this nation, whilst they conduct themselves as friends.
I have not time to be more particular at present, but shall do myself the honour of writing you again in a few days, and am, with due respect, your obedient humble servant,
JAMES SEAGROVE,
Agent Indian Affairs, S. D. U. S.
His Excellency the Governor of Georgia.
