SON TO W.H. DRAYTON. [Original MS.] Whitehall, June 27, 1776. Dear Sir: I have no later letters from Charlestown than those I showed to Mr. Salvador when here. James Holmes left Charlestown a day later, and says no attempt was made against the town-that several of the small vessels had returned back over the bar, and several more getting under sail, apprehended to be bound the same way. Your letter to the President I despatched to Charlestown with some of my men, on Friday last. The two Cherokee Indians returned to the nation on Wednesday week, seemingly well satisfied with their journey. I gave them a strong talk, the substance as follows: That I had, agreeable to the desire of the warrior of Sugar Town, acompanied them across the frontier settlements, and told them before I set out, that if they saw, and would show me any bad white warriors, who carried lies and bad talk amongst them from the settlements, that I would take them into custody, and punish; and in return demanded liberty to send some of our people into the nation to secure York, and other bad white people, who had carried lies and bad talk amongst them, and endeavored, by every method they could devise, to make them quarrel with us. If they complied with this proposal, I should then know they wanted to live at peace with us; but, if they denied us that liberty, I should believe they did not care to continue in friendship with us longer, and should either send, or come myself, and bring the bad people outof the nation by force. A string of white beads. I desired them to remember-talk well, and tell it to the warriors, and return an answer soon, which I received yesterday by one Price, a half breed.
