Gentm
This gentleman Mr Paul Bertrand has been
recommended to me by my Lord of London, as a
fitt person for Maryland, and though he be a French
|
man, he has the English language soe well, that he may be
very serviceable to the Protestants in the execution of his func-
tion, wherefore I desire you will be kind to him, and give him
all due encouragement and the rather in regard he is recom-
mended by my Lord of London. You are likewise to procure
him possession of the plantation and a negro at the head of
Pottuxen River, which was given by Peter Archer for the use
of Ministers, and I desire that Coll. Darnall doe procure him a
horse out of the wild gang, which I have promised shall be
done, and soe I rest
For Coll. Tho. Taillor, Coll Vincent Your loving Friend
Lowe, Coll. Henry Darnall, Coll C. Baltemore
Wm Digges and to the rest of the
Depty Governours of Maryland.
