Summary
There was news that people from the back counties might march on Philadelphia, so the Governor asked the men to go to Lancaster and see what they could learn. They heard stories of hundreds of deaths, prisoners taken, and ruined farms. Refugees had flooded east into areas not prepared for housing and feeding them. Local guards were exhausted with watching the frontiers. The people could not believe the Assembly was going to adjourn without providing some sort of assistance; they wanted to tell their stories to the Assembly.
