Copy of Alex[ander] McGillivray's talk to the Governor of Georgia, 1786 Aug. 3, Tuckabatchee, [Creek Nation]

This is a copy of Alexander McGillivray's talk to the governor of Georgia, dated August 8, 1786. In this talk, McGillivray says that a man called Yellow Hair by the Creeks (Daniel McMurphy, treaty commissioner for the state of Georgia) had demanded a meeting with the Creek chiefs the previous summer but left for Augusta before the meeting took place. McGillivray says that he would like to hear what the governor or his commissioners have to say. He warns them, however, not to deal with the Tame King or the Fat King, neither of whom has the authority to cede any Creek land. He also notes that he has sent the governor and council several talks condemning white settlements on Creek hunting grounds near the Oconee River but has never received a response. He asks the governor to respond and warns him again. This copy was apparently prepared by the executive council's secretary, James M. Stewart.
