7-14 Dec 1767:11 (453)
December 12th. Yesterday arrived here from South-Carolina,
the famous Attakullakulla, or the Little Carpenter,
Ouconnostota, or the Great Warrior, and the Raven King of
Toogoloo, with six other chiefs and warriors of the Cherokee
nation, accompanied by an interpreter; and the next day they
had an audience of his Excellency General Gage, the
Commander in Chief.
. . . [4 paragraphs follow on speeches and greetings
exchanged]
The Chiefs having been inform'd, that there was a Theatre in
this city, expressed a desire of seeing a play acted. The
General has thought proper to gratify their curiosity, and
has given directions that proper places be got for them in
the house on Monday evening next, (that is this evening) to
see the Tragedy, &c. according to the bill, performed.
