Letter, 1755 November 12, to Robert Hunter Morris.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/9052556

Dinwiddie and the Virginia Council are distressed at French military advances. Hopes Pennsylvania will supply Morris with men and supplies. Virginia cannot send arms because the Magazine has been exhausted by supplying them to New York and New Jersey. More men will be sent to Fort Cumberland. All calamities stem from Colonel Dunbar's retreat from the frontier. Has dissolved the House of Burgesses and called for new elections. Wants Morris to keep him informed of the enemy's movements.
