The Braddock force is on the land…
July 1755 CE
This evening, the natives send a delegation to the British to request a conference.
Braddock sends Washington and Fraser.
The natives ask the British to halt their advance so that they can attempt to negotiate a peaceful withdrawal by the French from Fort Duquesne.
Both Washington and Fraser recommend this to Braddock but he demurs.
