Thursday, 7 December, 1758.
The House met according to Adjournment; The Members were
called, and all appeared as Yesterday, except Col. Hopper. The
Proceedings were Read.
Mr. King appeared in the House.
The Governor communicated to Mr. Speaker, the following Mes-
sage, viz.
Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
Before General Forbes left Shippensburg, he advanced our Officers
Two Thousand Four Hundred Pounds, the greatest Part of which
Sum was paid away by them at Fort Frederick, for Cloathing and
other Necessaries, which the Soldiers had been furnished with in
Pursuance of the General's Order. I have Reason to believe that
his Excellency hath advanced them Money since that Time, for
similar Purposes; but how large a Sum he has been pleased to
supply them with, I have not been yet able to learn. The Sum drawn
for in the Bills of Exchange which were paid to Doctor Ross by
the General's Order, to enable him to satisfy the People, to whom
he was indebted for some of the Provisions that had been delivered
to the Maryland Forces before they joined the King's Troops, and
to the friendly Indians on our Frontiers, amounted, I think, to Two
Thousand Seven Hundred Pounds, Fifteen Shillings, and Eight
Pence Sterling.
