Sir
After having sealed the letter that was to be sent, by the bilander of Ojeda, an answer arrived from the commanders of New Georgia
• and having read its contents they declare themselves overwhelmed with grief for having killed the king Pujoy;
• that they would seek for the aggressors to punish them, and restore the prisoners if they find them;
• that they desire to maintain the good intercourse and treaty which Genl. Oglethorpe made with Don Francisco del Moral:
• in relation to your letter which mentions about the Pilot, as only William Horten saw him, and he resides in Gualquini they knew nothing of his answer,
• and they declare that as they had neither seen him nor heard from him, they would persuade me, that they did not give him permission to correspond with you.
The cavalry soldier who brought the letter says
• that the sailors of the English periagua stated that Oglethorpe had arrived and that he was in Gualquini:
• that they searched for Spanish and English vessels on the coast, but that there was none, and they left without giving further news.
