therefore you are of Opinion that all Things considered His
Ldp will do well to gratify Colo Lloyd & Mr Goldsborough by
Conferring on the Latter that Honour which the former has so
often & so earnestly sollicited for him vou will I am persuaded
no longer oppose his Preferment but on the contrary Let him
reap the Benefit of Your good Offices. Herewith I shall
transmit you a Copy of the Journal of the Proceedings in the
Upper House of Assembly during the late Session which you
will perceive I put an End to the 15th of this Month, Nothing
of Consequence having been transacted between the Two
Houses besides what I mentioned to you in my Letter of the
12th Inst. It being now nine Days since the Revd Mr Barclay
went hence to engage & bring up with him Mr Graham the
late Professor of Mathematicks at the College in Williamsburg
I entertain hopes of seeing the latter at Annapolis in a few
Days but whether he comes or not I & the other Commis-
sioners appointed by His Ldp are to meet the Beginning of
next Week at Colo Lloyd's & unless Sickness or some other
extraordinary Accident should prevent us we intend to meet
the Pensilvania Commissioners at Newcastle the 12th of next
Month, & immediately thereafter proceed to Business, tho
indeed for my own Part I could wish to be excused, having
for these nine or ten Days past been much troubled with an
ugly slow Fever, but the first frost or two will I flatter myself
set us all to Rights.

London October 30th 1760
Sir
I condole wth you the melancholy Event of the Death of our
late most Gracious Soveraign, alleviated in our Grief by his
Present Majesty's accession to the Throne of his Realms a
Glorious Prospect to us and all his Subjects from his benevo-
lent and benign Princely Qualities. Inclosed you have the
Lord Proprietor's Orders and Instructions for Proclaiming his
Majesty's Accession to his Imperial Realms. The immediate
Departure of this Packet by his Majesty's ship, allows me only
to say, of our Joy for the taking of Montreal and the Posses-
sion of Canada. You will hear from me by the first opportu-
nity in answer to several of your Letters. You have his Lord-
ship's sincere wishes for your Service.
I am with all Esteem,
Yours truly
Caecils Calvert
