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.

In the Spring of the Year 1756 the Distress of the Province being very great, and the desolating Calamities of a general Indian War apprehended at the Instance of the Provincial Interpreter CONRAD WEISER, and with the Approbation of Governor MORRIS, some Members of our Society essay’d to promote a Reconciliation with the Indians, and their Endeavours being blessed with Success, the happy Effects thereof were soon manifest; and a real Concern for the then deplorable
