undertake a Journey thither about that time: All that I can
say farther at present, & what I intended to write to you by
the Post next Sunday, is that I will send a Letter to You by
Express before the 9th of Novemr at farthest, & in such Letter
either inform You that the Commissioners appointed by the
Lord Proprietary of this Province will meet you & the other
Commissioners appointed by the Proprietaries of Pensilv3 at
the Time & Place You mention, or else desire You to post-
pone such meeting in case I should find that it will not be in
our power to meet you at Newcastle so soon as the 12th of
next month; Be pleased Sir to communicate the Contents of
this to the Gentlemen who together with Yourself subscribed
Your Letter of the 20th Inst. & Believe that I am with the
greatest Regard Sr Yr &c

[Sharpe to General Monkton.]

Annapolis the 24th of October 1760.
Sir
In a Letter which I had the honour to address to you the
13th of Sept. I informed you that upon the Receipt of Yours
dated the 21st of Augst I had issued Proclamations requiring
the General Assembly of this Province to meet here on the
22d of last Month & that then I would use my utmost Endeav-
ours to procure from them the Assistance You were pleased
to sollicit; I must now however inform You that after sitting
from the 26th of Septr to the 15th Inst. they then broke up
without granting any Supplies, nor will they I am satisfied
grant any more money for His Majesty's Service during the
Continuance of this War. I am extreemly sorry it is not in
my Power to send You a more agreeable Account of their
Proceedings, but I hope you will believe that nothing hath
been wanting on my Part, & that I am with great Regard &c.
