whenever you shall be pleased to let me know the purchaser's name, I will furnish the necessary Conveyances.
I am sorry to hear of the cruel & barbarous behavior of Mr. Sevier & his banditti to the poor Cherokee Indians, whose present situation must be truly distressing, & I sincerely wish that the Governor of North Carolina may take immediate measures for apprehending & punishing of them, or otherwise to out Law them- for tis people of such abandoned characters that keep our frontiers but too often in a state of warfare with the poor Indians & who, tis to be lamented, generally escape being made examples of
The States have ratified the new Constitution & Congress have appointed a Committee to Report- an act for putting the same into operation- It is doubtful as yet whether New York will join them or not- if she does not, I will occasion some trouble
