EDITORIAL: This document is 3 weeks after GW's 4th Annual Address to Congress in November of 1792.

Lower Town Cherokee Chiefs, John Watts and Bloody Fellow are mentioned in this document as well as the cherokee traitor, Little Turkey. He betrayed the Chickamauga by directing the Militias and militaries into the Lower town villages which led to continued acts of genocide.

GW liked Bloody Fellow who GW had named George Lightsky. GW wanted peace with the Chickamauga because he knew the reputation of the ferocity of the Chickamauga Warriors during conflict and did not want to put the Spanish in a position to unite the Chickamauga and Creek in a proxy war against the United States in which other tribes would surely join in, in the north.

Knox provides Bount with his assessment of the situation with the southern Indians and projected additions to the miitary establishment in the South. The Indians are not satisfied with the actions of the Cumberland settlements but it appears that the Creek chiefs are willing to council with Seagrove soon. Blount is asked to take whatever action is needed to end conflict with the Chickamaugas.

notable phrase - The Indians are dissatisfied about the Cumberland business and the President is exceedingly desirous of knowing the cause of it...In this event Sir, you could not do more acceptable service to the government, or more enhance your own reputation, than by terminating the affair with the said Chickamaugas without futher conflict.
