Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

They have been very importunate with me for an immediate Answer, alledging, as they have been very kindly treated by us, if this Overture should be likewise favourably accepted, that it would confirm those who are already well disposed, and also incline many others, who are at present in Arms against us, to sue for Peace.
"THE Commissioners who are joined with me in the Disposition of the public Money, were made acquainted with this Affair; and though they agreed with me as to the Expediency and Utility of the Measure, yet as it would be attended with Expence, and the public Funds were nigh exhausted, we did not think proper to go into it.—I therefore recommend it to you to consider this Matter; and if you concur with me in Opinion that this will be for the public Service, and will provide a Fund on the Occasion, I desire you will give me your Answer as soon as possible, that I may no longer detain the Indians, who are impatient to return Home with my Messages."
IN Answer to this, and to what the Governor had informed the House, respecting the Murder of the Indians in Lancaster County, the Assembly sent his Honour the following Message, viz.
May it please your HONOUR,
WE have taken into our Consideration your Honour's Message of the Twenty first Instant, and are extremely concerned to hear of the unprovoked Cruelties committed on the peaceable Indians, settled on Conestogoe Manor.
We thank the Governor for communicating this Intelligence, and the Indian Conferences, to us; and for the Measures he has taken to have the Perpetrators of this horrid Barbarity, and their Accomplices, apprehended and brought to Justice.
We will provide for the Expence of removing and maintaining such of those unhappy People as have escaped
