120 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe,

Letter Bk. II. 		would not presume to trouble your Ldp at this time with any
thing on that head from myself but shall only take the Liberty
of assuring your Ldp that it shall be my constant Study
to deserve your Ldps Favour by endeavouring to shew that I
am your Ldps most obedient & devoted Servant.

[Sharpe to Lord Anson.]

Nov 5th[1754]
My Ld
As a Friend of mine has intimated to me that I am entirely
indebted to your Ldp for the honour that His Majesty has been
pleased to confer on me in appointing me Commander of the
Forces that may be employed against his Majesty's Enemies in
this part of his Dominions I beg leave to make my most
grateful Acknowledgments for your Lordships kindness & the
Services that your Ldp has been pleased to do me, & to assure


p. 23 		your Ldp that it shall be my constant Study by my Conduct to
express my gratitude to your Ldp & to merit the Continuance
of the favourable Opinion that your Ldp has been pleased to
entertain of your Ldps most obliged & devoted Servant.

[Sharpe to Hanbury.]
[Nov. 1754.]
Sir
My unwillingness to detain the Captain a moment longer
than while I was writing the small Pacquet which I took the
Liberty to recommend to your Care the other Day from Vir-
ginia added to the Business which at that time engrossed my
Attention will I hope make my Excuse to you for delaying till
now to acknowledge & thank you for the kind Services which
I am sensible you have taken an Opportunity lately of doing
me you are I flatter myself inclined to think that it will be my
Study to approve myself not entirely unworthy of the honour
that His Majesty has been pleased to confer on me; as it will
I assure you at all times to deserve a Share of Your Esteem &
Regard. —
A Letter was also writ to the same purport to Mr Adair &
another to Capt. Tomlinson —


p. 24 		[Sharpe to Governor Morris.]

Novr 8th 1754.
Sir
I have received the favour of your Letter acquainting me
with your safe Arrival in your Government upon wch I very
heartily congratulate you & most sincerely wish you much
