Letter from Georgia to a Gentleman in New-York

v1:773

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GEORGIA, TO A GENTLEMAN IN NEW-YORK, DATED SEPTEMBER 7, 1774.

Some people here would suddenly enter into a non-importation agreement, but they are by far the minority; and indeed it would be highly imprudent and ungenerous for us to meddle at any rate with the disputes in which the rest of the Colonies are engaged, considering the pecuniary aid of Parliament we annually have, and do continue to receive; also our present situation with the Creek Indians, who refusing to give satisfaction for the depredations already committed on the back settlements, daily threaten us with fresh hostilities to the center, which we are by no means able to resist, as they can muster four thousand gun-men.
