{"value"=>"Is deeply concerned by the news of the defeat and death of Gen. Braddock; has called the Assembly together in order to put in force military law; at present the militia is under no proper command; has written Col. Dunbar that if the private men are recovered from their panic, and he will make another attempt against the enemy, he may have several hundred more men; is sorry for the situation in the Maryland Assembly; hopes this defeat may rouse them from their lethargy; Com. Keppel has sailed; all the war ships have gone to Nova Scotia except Capt. Arbuthnot and the Hornet sloop, who waits to carry despatches to Adm. Boscawen; as Gen. Shirley is in full command has sent him the proposals which should be secretly conducted."}
