Shirley's letter to Governor Morris. See note Z, Appendix. Q 122 HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. XXI. The defeat of General Braddock, wholly unexpected, produced great consternation throughout all the colonies. Upon receipt of intelli- gence of this extraordinary event, as Governor Belcher properly termed it, he summoned the Assembly of New Jersey, to meet him on the 1st of Au- gust; but it was not until the approach of winter, that they became fully aware of its disastrous consequences, and began to pr...epare against them. The enemy, long restrained, by fear of another attack, could scarce credit his senses, when he discovered the defenceless state of the frontiers; and now roamed, unmolested and fearlessly, along the western lines of Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania ; committing the most appalling outrages, and wanton cruelties, which the cupidity and ferocity of the savage could dictate. The first inroads were in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, whence, they were soon extended to the Susquehanna; and thence through Berks and Northampton Counties, across the Delaware, into New Jersey.
