United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Hawkins, Benjamin, 1754-18161730/1842Copy(?) of messages from Benjamin Hawkins, U.S. Agent for Indian Affairs, in response to both the deputation from Seminole chiefs Kinache and Payne and the talk of (John?) Kinnard (also Kennard), a Creek leader. Hawkins focuses on actions taken by warring Creeks and Seminoles against the people of Georgia near Traders Hill and the St. John's River, saying that they were unwarranted and unacceptable. He urges the Indians to return plundered property to the citizens of Georgia as well as all runaway slaves living amongst them and surrender those involved in the murders to the governor. The Mikasuki leader Wolf Warrior and Georgians General George Mathews and Colonel Thomas A. Smith are mentioned.
