It was too bad some of that spirit hadn t rubbed off on Gabrieldesign file guideline i i pdf span spanMy lordI write to inform you of my new Office viz that of Indian Agent to the Crown by Appointment to the Southern Department under John Stuart I was originally of two Minds regarding Acceptance of this Appointment but found my Views made more singular by Reason of a Visit by Mr Richard Brown a distant Neighbor and his Brother I expect that Mr Higgins will already have given you an Account of their so called Committee of Safety and its immediate Object of arresting him Have you encountered such ad hoc Bodies in Virginia I think perhaps your Situation is not so unsettled as is our own or that in Boston where Mr Higgins also reports their Presence I hope it is not I think a Person of Sense must deplore these committees in Principle Their stated Purpose is to provide Protection from Vagabonds and Banditti and to arrest Criminals in those Areas where no Sheriff or Constable is available With no Law to regulate their Behavior save Self interest though plainly there is Nothing to prevent an irregular Militia from becoming more of a Threat to the Citizenry than the Dangers from which it offers to preserve them The Appeal is plain though particularly in such Case as we find ourselves here so remotely situated The nearest Courthouse isor wasthree days Ride and in the constant Unrest that has followed the Regulation Matters have decayed even from this unsatisfactory State The Governor and his Council are in constant Conflict with the Assembly the Circuit Court has effectually ceased to exist Judges are no longer appointed and there is no Sheriff of Surry County at present the latest Holder of that Office having resigned under Threat of having his House fired The Sheriffs of Orange and Rowan Counties still boast Officebut their Corruption is so well known that no one may depend upon them save those whose Interest is invested in them We hear frequent reports these Days of House burnings Assaults and similar Alarums in the Wake of the recent War of Regulation Governor Tryon officially pardoned some of those involved in the Conflict but did nothing to prevent local Retribution against them; his Successor is still less able to deal with such Eventswhich are in any Case occurring in the Backcountry far from his Palace in New Bern and thus the more easily ignored (In all Justice the Man doubtless has Troubles nearer at Hand to deal with )Still while Settlers here are accustomed to defend themselves from the normal Threats of the Wilderness the Occurrence of such random Attacks as theseand the Possibility of Irruption of the Indians so close to the Treaty Lineis sufficient to unnerve them and cause them to greet with Relief the Appearance of any Body willing to undertake the Role of public Protection Hence the Vigilantes of the Committees are welcomedat least to begin with I give you so much Detail by way of explaining my Thoughts regarding the Appointment My friend Major MacDonald (late of the 32nd Cavalry) had told me that should I ultimately decline to become an Indian Agent he would approach Mr Richard Brown Brown being in the way of doing substantial Trade with the Cherokee and thus in a position of Acquaintance and presumed Trust that would predispose his Acceptance by the Indians My Acquaintance with Mr Brown and his Brother inclines me to regard this Prospect with Alarm With such Rise in Influence as such an Appointment would bring Brown s Stature in this unsettled Region might shortly become so great that no man could easily oppose him in any Ventureand that I think is dangerous My Son in law astutely observes that a Man s sense of Morality tends to decrease as his Power increases and I suspect that the Brothers Brown possess relatively little of the Former to begin with It may be mere Hubris on my part to assume that I have more I have seen the corrosive Effects of Power upon a Man s Souland I have felt its Burden as you will understand having borne it so often yourself Still if it is a choice between myself and Richard Brown I suppose I must resort to the old Scottish Adage that the Devil you ken is better than the Devil you don t I am likewise made uneasy at the Thought of the long Absences from Home which my new Duties must require And yet I cannot in Conscience allow the People under my Dominion to be subject to the Vagaries and possible Injuries of Brown s Committee I could of course convene my own such CommitteeI think you would urge such a Coursebut will not Beyond the Inconvenience and Expense of such a Move it would be Tantamount to declaring open War with the Browns and I think that not prudent not if I must be frequently away from home leaving my Family unprotected This new Appointment though will extend my own Influence andI trustput some Limit to the Browns Ambitions So having reached this Decision I sent Word at once to accept the Appointment and essayed my first Visit to the Cherokee in the Office of Indian Agent during the last Month My initial Reception was most Cordial and I hope my Relations with the Villages will remain so I shall visit the Cherokee again in the Autumn If you should have any Matters of Business that my new Office might assist send to me regarding them and rest assured that I shall make every Effort on your Behalf To more domestic Matters Our small Population has nearly doubled as the Result of an Influx of Settlers newly arrived from Scotland While most desirable this Incursion has caused no little Turmoil the Newcomers being Fisher folk from the Coast To these the Mountain Wilderness is full of Threat and Mystery such Threats and Mysteries being personified by Pigs and Plowshares (With regard to Pigs I am not sure but that I share their Views The white Sow has lately taken up Residence beneath the Foundation of my House and there engages in such debauches that our Dinner is disturbed daily by hellish Noises resembling the Sounds of Souls in Torment These Souls apparently being torn Limb from Limb and devoured by Demons beneath our Feet )Since I speak of Matters hellish I must observe that our Newcomers are also alas stern Sons of the Covenant to whom a Papist such as myself presents himself as one fully furnished with Horns and Tail You will recall one Thomas Christie I think from Ardsmuir By comparison of these stiff necked Gentlemen Mr Christie appears the Soul of compassionate Generosity I had not thought to thank Providence for the Fact that my Son in law is Presbyterian by inclination but I see now how true it is that the Almighty does indeed have Designs beyond the Ken of us poor mortals While even Roger MacKenzie is a sadly depraved Libertine by their Lights the new Tenants are at least able to speak to him without the Necessity of small Gestures and Signs intended to repel Evil which are the constant Accompaniment to their Conversations with myself As for their Behavior with Respect to my Wife you would think her the Witch of Endor if not the Great Whore of Babylon This because they consider the Furnishments of her Surgery to be Enchantments and were appalled at witnessing the Entrance therein of a Number of Cherokee gaily festooned for visiting who had come to Trade in such Arcana as Snakes Fangs and the Gallbladders of Bears My wife begs me express her Pleasure at your kind Compliments regarding Mr Higgins s improved Healthand still more at your Offer to procure medicinal Substances for her from your Friend in Philadelphia She bids me send you the enclosed List As I cast an Eye upon this I suspect that your supplying of her Desires will do nothing to allay the Suspicions of the Fisher folk but pray do not desist on that Account as I think nothing save Time and Custom will decrease their Fears of her My Daughter likewise bids me express her Gratitude for your Present of the Phosphorus I am not certain that I share this Sentiment given that her Experiments with the Substance prove frighteningly incendiary to date Fortunately none of the Newcomers observed these Experiments or they would be in no Doubt that Satan is indeed a particular Friend to me and mine In happier Vein I congratulate you upon your latest Vintage which is indeed drinkable I send in return a Jug of Mrs Bug s best Cider and a Bottle of the barrel aged Three year old which I flatter myself you will find less corrosive to the Gullet than the last Batch Your ob t servant J FraserPostscriptum: I have had Report of a Gentleman who by Description
