Today I have been granted the honor of being a justice of the Fairfax County court. I am also a trustee of Alexandria and a vestryman of Truro parish.
The France have tried to claim the Ohio River Valley. We would not stand for that. Today British officials sent George Washington to have the French leave. This turned out awful for Washington. When he made contact with the French it ended in a bloody conflict. Washington was cornered at Fort Necessity and lost, but was permitted to withdraw without losing his entire force. I sense this will cause a full war between France and Britain. The colonies will be dragged into it and it will be disastrous for the Ohio Company's land claims and the colonists.
