Notes the number of troops stationed in Ohio, Florida, the North Carolina frontier, Georgia. Troop totals add up to 1,680. Lists reasons for the proposed troop augmentation. These reasons include: to awe the Wabash and Creek Indians, to draw "a line of posts around them [the Creeks]," and to protect frontier settlements. Writes on "The situation, Temper, and views of the frontier people to be stated - and the general policy considered of protecting and regulating them - or of suffering them to protect themselves and of the immediate and ultimate consequences of such a measure." Makes references to [Don Diego de] Gardoqui, George Morgan, General [Arthur] St. Claire, Major [Jean-François] Hamtramck, and Major Wyllis [John P. Wyllys]. Notes that "The assistance of McGillivray [sic] has probably received from the Spaniards 6000 arms." Recommends that "If a war should be inevitable with the Creeks, as appears highly probable, the establishment of some of the posts would be places of arms at where the troops should be collected - particularly - the Oconces - & the Muscle Shoals, so as to strike the upper and lower creeks at once."
