Cockburn commanding the English fleet, & was highly inflamatory & addressed to the Creek Indians and was no doubt the cause at that time of exciting them to make war on the Whites.

the astounding facts had book out upon them. He had received information of a matter which he had been unable properly to comprehend: it was concerning a paper or letter said, or pretended to have been sent from People beyond the Seas; this it was said had been circulated in some of the Indian towns: he had heard that it had been sent to Kun-char-le-Micco, to Enhar-Marth-looche, to Neah-Micco and that Tus-ke-hene-haw had also received it: he was informed that runners had come from Nehar-Mecco to Tuskehenehaw bringing four broken sticks to him, and word that "they were ready" and it appeared that it was about the time of the last of these broken sticks that these hostilities had commenced among them.*

   The circumstance of the paper said to have been circulated could not, as he had before said, well understand, it could not have been the work of Indians, for they cannot read or write - the only way in which he can account for it is, that White people must have been at the bottom of it.
