Nashville 13th March 1795
Sir

Maj. [Major] Tatum is now about starting and I just this minute recd [received] an express from Pio mingo & other [added: chiefs] furnishing certain information of a rupture between the Chickasaw s & Creek s Assistance from the United States on the part of the Chickasaw is strenuously solicited__ It is suggested to me by the Chiefs that if a post is established upon the Tennessee , it well answer the purposes of offence and defence most effectually__ This Idea entirely coincides with mine, and suffer me to observe that if the U [United] States think proper to afford them any assistance the sooner it is done, the better both for them and us__ To want of more time I refer you to the Gov [Governor] for further information

I am Sir with sincere
resp & est [respect and esteem]
[unclear: yr in obb [yours in obedience] ]
J [James] S Robertson
