Abstract
The Chactaw nation are much dissatisfied with the great quantity of spirits carried into their country by the traders; as the latter are limited by their bonds to a certain quantity, he means to punish all who persist in such behavior; he would be glad of any light that would enable him to make an example of one; wishes they would carry even less liquor than they are allowed to.
