Letter, [1754] September [6], to [James] Hamilton.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/9591847

Dinwiddie has received Hamilton's letter of [August?] 12. Has prorogued the Virginia Assembly until October because they refused to grant £20,000 for supplies for the troops without also adding £2,500 for Peyton Randolph who complained about Dinwiddie's part in the "Pistole Affair" to the King and Council. Awaits Governor Dobbs's report on the matter. Because Dinwiddie has not been granted the money he wants for the troops, the French and the Indians are free to plunder and wreak havoc. Three independent companies are to build a magazine for stores and a battery at Will's Creek.
