William Denny, Letter to Benjamin Chew, 1757 Philadelphia 13 August 1757 Sir: An Express brought this Afternoon the inclosed Letters informing me of the Surrender of Fort William Henry on Monday, and the Attack of Fort Edward on Tuesday Evening. No other particulars than what are contained in these Letters are yet come to Hand. I cannot dispense with calling the Lower Assembly on this important Occasion, and desire you will be pleased to let me know how soon they can meet for there is no time to be lost in pressing them to do all in their power for his Majesty’s service. I am Sir, Your most humble Servant.
