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

Dinwiddie has received Hamilton's letter of {August?} 12. Has prorogued the Virginia Assembly until October because they refused to grant N20,000 for supplies for the troops without also adding N2,500 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. Letterbook copy of the letter published in R. A. Brock's edition of the official correspondence of Robert Dinwiddie, vol. I., pp. 306-309 (Publications of the Virginia Historical Society, vol. III, 1883.)

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
