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.

The Governor's Message to the Assembly on the Occasion, is as follows, viz.
"GENTLEMEN,
"The Indians who were lately seated by the Government on the Province Island, were, at their own earnest Request, sent off in a Body by me, under an Escort, on the fifth Instant, with an Intention of removing them, through the Governments of New-Jersey and New-York, to Sir William Johnson, to whose Care and Protection, as they were not in a State of Security here, I recommended them.
