They live in the Vicinity of Blount County and Tollico Blockhouse, and have there resided from their Infancy upwards, and so far as any information have come to my knowledge, have conducted themselves as friendly as any others of their Nation—

I salute you with great respect & esteem, and have the honor to be Sir, Your Most Obedient Servant
