Docket indicates this to be a speech by McIntosh. "We wish to show you our Brothers & Country Men also, that all injuries are forgotten and gone away- and the Hatchet buryed deep between us and your Nation likewise [1]... if one nation or people have more than they can use or have occasion for; - they ought in reason of Justice to give part of what is useless... to those people who are in want & cannot live without it &c" [4]. McIntosh claims that the boundary line designated in a previous treaty was left unmarked. Attempts to settle the boundary dispute and to persuade the Creeks to grant the "people of Georgia" more land. Docketed in Knox's hand.
