http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145407206

Letters, 1813 July 23 and 1818 May 25, from Toulmin, in Fort Stoddert, Washington Co., Miss. Territory and Ala. Territory, to Brig. Gen. Ferd. L. Claiborne, on the road from Baton Rouge, La., and from Toulmin, in Fort Stoddert, to John C. Calhoun, Secretary of War, in Washington, D.C. In the first letter Toulmin discussed the Creek uprising at Pensacola, Fla., including their stealing the mail and killing the postrider's horse, the attempt by the Creeks to obtain guns and ammunition from the British in Fla., the testimony of Samuel Manac that the Creeks plan a general uprising in Ala. to throw out the whites. He also mentions the expedition led by Col. James Caller against the Creeks, and the necessity of reinforcements to help protect not only the fort, but to protect the Tensaw settlement in Baldwin Co., Ala. In the second letter, Toulmin discussed the road between Fort Hawkins (Ga.), near Macon, and Fort Stoddert, and changing the path of the road to make it more passable in all seasons of the year, particularly between the Tombigbee settlement and the Tensaw settlement. He and General Ferd L. Gaines wished to move the road to the east side of the Alabama River near Fort Stoddert.
