Early Governors' Papers

Tellico Blockhouse August 22^nd 1796.

Sir,

I have just received a copy of a Treaty of Peace and friendship between the U States & the Creeks at Coleraine on the 29^th last, from which it apears little more is obtained by our commissioners than a recognition of their former Treaties and permission to erect sundry trading houses and Garrisons on the south side of the Altamaha with five miles square anexed to each Garrison. Ihave not time at present or I would give you a copy- I can give all the Cherokee news

I am respectfully your Excellency's Obedient servant

John McKee

His Excellency Gov. Sevier
