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.

Present The Honorable Cadwallader Golden Esqr. Lieut. Governor, Mr. Horsmonden Mr. Walton Mr. Smith Mr. Watts Earl of Stirling
His Honour the Lieutenant Governor communicated to the Council a Letter of the 5th Instant, from the Honourable John Penn Esqr Governor of Pensilvania, representing that the back, Inhabitants of that Province had carried their resentment against the Indians so far, as to kill some who had lived, under the faith and protection of the government for sixty years, in an Indian Town near Lancaster That not content with this barbarous outrage, they in open day- time, march'd into that town, and there murdered fourteen more Indians, who were put ^in^ there by the magistrate for their security, and after perpetrating these horrid violences, had even threatned to come and hill a number of Indians that he gave leave to sit down in an Island on Schuyl- kill in the Neighbourhood of Philadelphia. That this night have been easily prevented, as there are arm and men enough but that these Indians who are of a mild and peaceable Disposition, desired they might be permitted to go to Sir William Johnson's from whence they could easily be sent to the Heads of the Susquehanna,
