Paragraph One
The Indian troops having been in the service for several months without pay, and not
being supplied with clothing, tents, and blankets, I had made great exertions to collect
supplies for them. In their thin clothing part of them, Creeks, Choctaws, and Chickasaws,
had, under Colonel Cooper, pursued Hopoeithleyohola in the snow and cold, and fought
him twice, first in the dark night and then in open daylight, killing in the last action nearly
400 of his men, and compelling him to retreat and abandon the country, leaving only a
few hundred men in care of the women and wounded, to be afterward routed by Colonel
Mcintosh.

Paragraph Two
The Creeks under Colonel McIntosh are about to make an extended scout westward.
Stand Watie, with his Cherokees, scouts along the whole northern line of the Cherokee
country from Grand Saline to Marysville, and sends me information continually of every
movement of the enemy in Kansas and Southwestern Missouri.
