Book Description
A working manuscript that has been corrected by Knox probably intended for George Washington. Consists of several secret articles pertaining to the proposed treaty; in each case, secret has been struck. One article grants trading rights in United States ports. If the Spanish obstruct Creek commerce, promises to transport Creek goods through United States territory until the obstruction is removed, as long as the goods do not exceed 60,000 dollars in worth. Another article appoints Alexander McGillivray, Chief of the Creek Nation, as Brigadier General in the United States Army with 1,200 dollars per year in pay. Grants the chiefs of the Upper Creeks, the Lower Creeks, and the Seminoles a commission, a medal with ornaments, and 100 dollars per year. Article three stipulates that the United States will educate and clothe such of the Creek youth as shall be agreed upon, not exceeding four in number [at one time]. Possibly secret articles of the 1790 Treaty of New York. Based on content, written before 1792.
