178 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.

Letter Bk. I. 		at the late Election & Mr Tilgman whom I before mentioned
I take the Liberty to mention Colo Robt Jenkins Henry & Mr
Philip Key, the first is Judge of Assize on the Eastern Shore He
has always manifested himself a firm Friend to the Govt & the
Ld proprietary's Interest during a great many years that he has
represented Somerset Cty in Assembly the other Gentn too
has approved himself a constant Supporter of the Governt
many years in the Lower House but miscarried also in the late
Election because it seems he was not sanguine enough against
the Roman Catholicks in some of the late Sessions. Mr Rosse
I will present to Morrow to All Hallows Parish in Worcester
Cty according to His Ldp's Instruction & as Colonel Tasker
has declined accepting the proposal that His Ldp was pleased
to order me to make to him concerning the Half of the Land
Office in lieu of his present place I shall comply with His
Ldp's Instruction by ordering a Joint Commission to Mr
Calvert & Doctor Steuart as Judges of the Land Office, & as
Doctor Steuart is Commissioner of the Loan Office I shall
engage him as I have intimated to Mr Calvert to make an
extraordinary Allowance towards the present that His Ldp is

p. 110 		pleased to order Mr Wogan annually from that Office. I have

the proposition His Lordsp was pleased to order me to make

Orders to Commission him to the Naval Office oi Potuxent on
Colonel Platers Removal he came to Annapolis with such
Expectation, but as Colo Plater has desired some time to inspect
the Secretary's Office & consider of the proposal that I made
him by his Ldps Instructions & yours to succeed Mr Jennings
& that I would not immediately appoint him a Successor in
the Naval Office of Potuxent on which River His House &
plantation are situate, I could not satisfy Mr Darnalls Expec-
tations in that respect & he was averse to resigning the post
of Attorney Genl till He could be otherways better provided
for. In a Letter that I did myself the honour to write to you
in Septr last I acquainted you that the Mannour known by the
Appellation of Lady Baltimores manner lay under particular
Circumstances what induces me to mention that Matter again
is that I find myself unable to comply with His Ldps Requisition
by transmitting a compleat Collection of platts or Draughts of
His Ldps several Mannours till I receive particular Directions
with respect to that Mannour I have inclosed a platt of one
of the mannours in Somerset Cty which is not & never was in
the Land Records or elsewhere distinguished by any name.
His Ldp will be pleased to signify by what Title it shall be
called & it shall be entered in the Book that I shall transmit I
hope before the End of the Summer. You will be pleased to
