English
The people of England, as the writers name them.
Peace in the Town-House at Chota
Henry Timberlake, Memoirs (London, 1765): arrival among the Overhill Cherokee, December 1761 · events of December 1761; printed at London, 1765
“The bloody tommahawke, so long lifted against our brethren the English, must now be buried deep, deep in the ground, never to be raised again; and whoever shall act contrary to any of these articles, must expect a punishment equal to his offence. Should a strict observance of them be neglected, a war must necessarily follow, and a second peace may not be so easily obtained. I therefore once more recommend to you, to take particular care of your behaviour towards the English, whom we must now look upon as ourselves; they have the French and Spaniards to fight, and we enough of our own colour, without medling with either nation. I desire likewise, that the white warrior, who has ventured himself here with us, may be well used and respected by all, wherever he goes amongst us.”

So I urge you once more to take particular care how you behave toward the English, whom we must now look on as ourselves. They have the French and Spaniards to fight, and we have enough of our own color, without meddling with either nation. I also ask that the white warrior who has ventured here among us be well treated and respected by all, wherever he goes among us.”

Enfin, on aperçoit çà et là des étrangers, et surtout des Anglais; ces derniers se bourrent de viandes à portions doubles, demandent tout ce qu'il y a de plus cher, boivent les vins les plus fumeux, et ne se retirent pas toujours sans aides.
Finally, here and there you see foreigners, above all the English. They stuff themselves with double portions of meat, order the most expensive things there are, and drink the strongest wines. They do not always leave without help.
