By the time Moral assumed the governorship in 1734, Spanish influence over the Indians had again declined. Captain Alvaro Lopez de Toledo reported from Apalache in June, 1734, that he had only a little corn and flour left in his storehouse to award to the Lower Creeks, who constantly clamored for supplies. A month earlier a delegation of Cavetas, Apalachicolas, Achitos, and Casistas had left their villages on the Chattahoochee to get Lopez’ aid against the incursions of the Pequots. Unfortunately, Lopez reported, he had nothing to offer the Indians and had to send them away without war supplies for use against the Pequot enemies.
