& yet, the most I cou'd bring them to, was to project a Bill,
which they have sent Home, for His Majestys Approbation, &
for His Leave, to His Governour, to enact it. — & in this Bill,
have given His Majesty, as an Aid, in the present Emergency,
the Sum of about Six thousand Pounds Str & nothing further
is, like to be done, by the Assembly of this Province, till they
have an Answer to their Petition, to the King, on this Head, &
which cannot be expected, till some Time, the next Spring —

Sir
I desire you will settle an hundred pounds a year to be payd
out of the Land office to mr Iohn Wogan of the Middle Temple,
he is a Gentleman for whom I have a very great regard; 'tis a
great happiness to men of Power here in England that they
can always oblige their personal acquaintances, whereas the
great distance of Maryland from this part of the world confines
the gift of places to very few persons.
Mr Calvert has answered in his letters to you the particulars
of yours to me, you cannot doubt that I wish you happiness
& success in all undertakings, particularly against the French
& I flatter myself that you will always look upon me as your
most
Sincere Freind &c.
F. Baltimore
