I have at length brought the Creeks to reflet,

They have Jmade repeated efforts to indtice me to

more, lhave had application for a hundred ploughs
for the enfuing fcafon. I have the loom and wheel
in operation, and have obtained a promife that this
fpring they will begin to fence their fields. Thoft
who have fettled in villages, have, been fencing for

I have Tent all the hunters into the woods,' well
