abstract
{"value"=>"States that the late tour in the Cherokee country was not very successful owing to the Tories under Col. Williams and others; one of their prisoners had escaped and reported that all the other prisoners had been given up to the Indians who had killed 12; unless some active measures are taken against the Cherokees and Tories the country must be abandoned; has written to Gov. Rutledge and proposed a plan which he approves: has also written to Cols. Sevier and Shelby, to march against the Chickamaugas, and to the Cols. of Burk and Rutherford counties to march through the middle settlements and make a junction with the people by the next February; he will start at that time with provisions and pack horses; asks Col. Clark to join them."}
