In the peace with Great Britain, the Cherokees were left to fight their own battles - Treaty of Hopewell (see Haywood p. 212-) made 28 Nov. 1785. with Confederation - after that, however, there were depredations on both sides - There were Intrusions of the whites, & Repulsios by the Indians, & Negroes stolen from the whites by Indians - John Little & and Webber, both Cherokees, took negroes. They raised a small party & went through the Spanish Country to St. Francis & there increased, until the country was ceded by France to the United States. A delegation then went to Washington & saw Mr. Jefferson who made the address which was published & which first awakened the idea of emigration -- Toochela,who was afterwards broke was in favour of removing West -- (1808. long before) - and John McIntosh for remaining & adopting civilized habits -- Favour this neglect not the idea have been given to Jefferson?

Col: Meijs told Bloody Fellow that by removing he would be freed from the restraints of the white customs, and might pursue the chase unmolested & perpetuate the race of Indians -- Bloody Fellow replied that he had no inclination to leave the country of his birth. Even should the habits & customs of the Cherokees give place to the habits & customs of the whites, or even should they themselves become white by intermarriage, not a drop of word scratched out Indian blood would be lost; it would be spread more widely, but not lost. He was for preserving them together as a people, regardless of complexion.
