"Soon after Gen. Braddock arrived in Virginia,
he wrote to the Governors of Massachusetts,
New York, and Pennsylvania, requesting them
to meet him at Annapolis in Maryland, to
concert measures for future operations. The
General and Governor Dinwiddie proceeded to
Annapolis, but the place of meeting was after
wards changed to Alexandria, where they all as
sembled on the 18th Of April, Q755,) and con-
certed measures for the united action of the mid
die and northern colonies" In letter to Wm.
Fairfax, dated Mount Vernon, 23d April 1855,
General (then Colone) Washington says:


''Alexandria has been honored with five Gov
ernors in consultation; favorable presage hope,
not only of the success of this expedition, but
of the future greatness of that town; for surely
such a meeting must have been occasioned by
the commodious and pleasant situation of the
place, which prognosticates population and in
crease of fourishing trade .'-Washington $
