Discusses the troops in Georgia and the pending decision in Congress regarding Georgia's pre-emption of the western lands. Says that all the troops within the power of the President, George Washington, have been sent to Georgia. Hopes the troop's arrival will ease apprehensions of "the good people of Georgia" and offer them some form of protection. Notes the Governor of Georgia has informed them "that the Creeks are peaceably disposed." States that only the federal goverment can make treaties. Docketed by Knox.
