The Fat King's talk refers to communications with Mr. Galphin and the Virginia King (George Washington ?), and he emphasizes the Creeks' desire for peace and friendship with whites. He mentions that his people are poor and in need of goods, and also that two headmen of the Cowetaws (Coweta Creek Indians ?) plan to comply with the property exchange.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc124engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Telamon Cuyler, box 77, folder 25, document 01.Creek IndiansIndian land transfersLetter [enclosing a] talk [given by] the Fat King, 1782 Dec. 28, Augusta, [Georgia to] John Martin Esquire, Savannah, Georgia/ James RaeText
