Letter from Adam Stephen to Thomas Jefferson from Williamsburg about the conflict with the Cherokees. He writes that he hopes the Cherokee "will be proceeded against with the Same Rapidity we made use of on the Shawnese Expedition. Then it is probably we make such an impression upon them as well Strike terror into the most distant Indian Nations." Stephen also references George Washington's situation in New York. Stephen also references the burning of Norfolk, VA. He describes what Dunmore and his fleet did after Norfolk, specifically the burning of the William Brent's house as well as a mill and looking for "the Runaways".; The recipient's copy of this letter is at the Library of Congress.
