My Esteemed Governor:	Yesterday,	being	the first opportuni
that presented itself, I wrote Your Lordship by Mr. Marbury, se;; ing to you a message from the chief of the Cherokees, Bloody Fell and copies of letters from the trader Macdonald and the interpre Cornel. By all of these letters it appears that these Indians h" determined on war against the Americans, for the reason that! latter have killed some of their women. And since some accid may happen to Marbury?s boat, I repeat my request to Your Lo ship to inform me at the first opportunity what I am do to in ? the Cherokees come here to ask for munitions, which I fear will hS pen. In the Indian Department there is not a grain of powdfti; having been supplied for some time by the garrison of the fort.#?
I await Your Lordship?s orders. Your most obedient and devo servant, who kisses your hands,	;\?,z
