The first part of this document consists of a letter from the Creek Nation presented before "the board," or Executive Council of Georgia, of which Handley was secretary. The letter, written by James Durouzeaux and copied by Handley, indicates: "The Fat King and the good Child King of the half way House desired me to acquaint you of their coming down to meet the Governor or the beloved men at your place Beard Bluff, there to hold a treaty and there settle every point of the line and boundary of Land and all matters relative to their Nation, as provision is vastly scarce, and there planting time coming on that the Nation has left the whole to them to Act in part of their Nation." The second part of this document consists of an extract from minutes of the Georgia Executive Council, written by Handley, who reports that due to the expense of transporting articles to Beard Bluff and the late notice given by the Creeks, commissioners will be sent to meet the Creek deputies at Savannah instead of Beard Bluff. Notes that Indian commissioners General [Lachlan] McIntosh, Colonel Elijah Clarke, and Colonel [Benjamin] Hawkins should be notified to attend.
