A.L.S. Endorsed. 2 ll. 4o
Description
He has received a letter from Gen. Braddock; a duplicate was sent to Gov. Dinwiddie, whereupon the Virginia Assembly granted £6,000; if these governments follow the example, there will be no difficulty in complying with His Excellency's requisitions; rather than leave any troops at Fort Du Quesne without stores. he would, if he had provisions, try to bring out the militia to convoy them; whatever be the result of the Assembly's meeting, a few cannon and some arms shall be sent from this place; he hopes Pennsylvania will not refuse supplies; he has warned the back-inhabitants to be on their guard.
