Among the many issues that Thomas Jefferson is dealing with are the issue of Indians, the points to be taken into account in reaching agreements with them, and the ways in which they can be achieved, since he assumes that they are not wanted by the Indians after the injustices they committed with them. Jefferson addresses international issues: such as opening the Mediterranean Sea to shipping and trade, dealing with Morocco, problems with other nations; also urges him to use all his efforts to quell the doubts of the Creek Indians and persuade them not to separate their lands and convince them that he (Benjamin Hawkins) is more interested in Indian affairs than in them United States affairs.
