He says that Colonel George Woodbine and his party have relocated below the rivers and only a couple straggling groups remain a threat to the Georgia frontier. Hawkins says that it is generally believed that there will be peace soon, especially since the defeat of the British at New Orleans. He says that unnamed Indians (probably rebel Creeks and Seminoles) to the south are afraid and in need of food and that they have fled the area. He plans to send out parties and believes that they will find many of the Indians at Miccosukee (also Mikasuki). Hawkins mentions that Woodbine may not truly be an officer and also complains about Colonel Edward Nicolls. He further reports that he has heard word that the Governor of Pensacola has sent an armed vessel for someone named McGill and "the Spanish Negroes".Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc890engMode 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 76, folder 25, document 22.Great Britain--Foreign relations--1800-1837United States--History--War of 1812United States--History--War of 1812--Participation, IndianNew Orleans (La.), Battle of, 1815Letter, 1815 Feb. 24, camp 115 miles [to] Peter Early, Governor of Georgia, Milledgeville / Colo[nel] Benjamin HawkinsText
