[Indorsement.]
Mr Penns L?? of the
30th May (83) to the
Lord Baltemore
My Noble Frd
Major Sawyer being yet behind, I embrace the opertunity to recommend to the Lord Baltimore thos divers amicable proposals & expedients that I offerd to him for an happy issue of our present affaire. This is so necessary to me, & of tht mighty moment, (both wth respect to the plantation of yr side of my Country, wth a number of people ready to seat it) The injoymt of my famely (a comfort inestimable here below) now at a great distance, & must so remaine till this dispute be ended) & finally the settlemt of my heirs in an undisturbed Right before I dye. That he will excuse my importunity for his Speedy & final resolve; haveing upon serious thoughts, determined wth myselfe, to embarque for England by the first Conveniency. If the Lord Baltimore is not pleased to receive any of the former proposals; much more If he should continue to think of any claime to any of thes Lower Countys. And this I thought fitt to mention, because I would not be often troublesome to the Ld Baltimore & his people wth expresses in this hot season of the year. I have no more to add, but that I hope the Lord Baltimore will please to impute the meanness of his entertainmt to the unexpectedness of the occasion, & tht he will give me leave to assure him I am wth much sincerity & affection.
My Noble Frd
