1792, October 27: Secretary of War to the Governor of Georgia –
SIR:
I have the honor to inform your Excellency, that it appears, by information from Governor Blount, dated the 7th instant, that the five Lower towns of the Cherokees, on the Tennessee river, commonly known as 'the Chickamaga towns, containing perhaps from three to five hundred warriors, have decided.upon hostility against the United States: that they are aided by a number of banditti Upper Creeks, and that their first object is probably the Cumberland settlements.

At present the information does not warrant the conclusion that more of the Cherokees than the five towns and the Creeks beforementioned, are for hostilities; but when the flames of war are once lighted up, it will be difficult effectually to restrain them within narrow limits.
