	Title:	Letter, August 5, 1818, from Nashville, publication date unknown, regarding possible Congressional approval or disapproval of General Jackson's "conduct in possessing myself of the forts of St. Marks and Barrancas. . . From the silence of the Cabinet I am induced to believe they have become alarmed, and under a panic may be weak enough to order the withdrawal of our troops. . . Should the troops be withdrawn we will soon see our frontier again deluged in blood . . . To be prepared at all points, I wish you to obtain all the proof you can of the Spanish Governor at Pensacola, feeding the Indians, and furnishing them with the means of war . . . and at what time and every circumstance that will show that the Spanish Governor, aided, abetted and excited the Indians to War, against us. From the silence, the Executive may attempt to throw all the responsibility on me. . ."
