[Sharpe to Calvert.]

Williamsburg in Virginia Octr 25. 1754.
transmitted by Capt. Yuill.
Sr
I have taken this Opportunity of requesting His Ldp to pre-
sent to Sir Thos Robinson my Acknowledgment for His Majes-


Letter Bk. I.
tys Commission (which I have lately been honored with) in a
Letter of which I have inclosed His Ldp a Copy in one which
you will be pleased to present to himself Governor Dobbs who
brought me His Majesty's & His Ldps Commission dated the
6th of July with your kind Favour of the same Date arrived
at this Place but the 7th Inst. The Garland Man of War
having met with a very severe Storm off of this Coast (in which
Her Main-Mast was carried away by the Board) that prevented
her reaching Virginia in less than 12 weeks after her De-
parture from Spithead. As soon as Governor Dinwiddie sig-
nified to me that Mr Dobbs was arrived & that His Majesty's
Pleasure would be obeyed by my coming to Williamsburg
before Goverr Dobbs should depart for North Carolina I im-
mediately took the Liberty to leave Annapolis & came hither
the 19th Inst. where I have been entirely taken up ever since
in consulting with those Gentn on the most expedient Measures
for promoting His Majesty's Service & in making preparations
for putting those measures in Execution. As you will have
submitted to your perusal the Copy of my Letter to Sir Thos
Robinson I hope I shall be excused for not mentioning what
Plan of Operations is agreed on here, & for hastening to pay
you my most sincere thanks for the favour of your kind Letter
& your earnest wishes for my Success & Prosperity therein so
p. 93
ardently expressed. You will do me the Justice to believe
that your kind Remembrance of me to get my name men-
tioned to His Majesty makes no slight Impression on my
mind; & you will not I flatter myself in the least doubt but it
will be always my constant Study to deserve the Continuance
of a Share of your Esteem & Regard, as well as to approve
myself not entirely unworthy of the honour that His Majesty
has been pleased to confer on me. You will be obliging
enough to assure His Lordship that I will not in the least
neglect His Ldps Affairs & that in case I do at any time
absent myself from His Ldp's Province for a short time I will
not fail to leave the President such of his Ldps & other In-
structions as may be requisite & conducive to the Advancement
of His Ldp's honour & Interest & the good Administration of
the Affairs of his Government. Your Desire that I will keep
up a frequent Correspondence with yourself I will most punc-
tually comply with & will let slip no opportunity of acquainting
