Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 193


 

 
likely to obtain the End desired, of which I conceive he will
himself acquaint you. A few Days after I had obeyed his
Ldp's Instructions by issuing a Commission to Mr Calvert &
Doctor Steuart as Joint Iudges of the Land Office they both
came & presented me the inclosed Accot of the Annual Income
of Fees to the Land Office which they assert is an exact Accot
the Deductions therein made not more than actually happen
& are allowed, & the neat Tobacco valued at as high a Rate
as it will at present bear. I did not say any thing to their
Representation but only that I would inclose it when I writ to
you again which I now take the Liberty to do. I have
acquainted His Ldp very particularly what the General is
doing & about to execute this Summer: As his Ldp will
acquaint you with those Affairs I hope to be excused for not
writing particularly thereon to you at present which you will
be kind enough to attribute to the short time that I could call
my own lately & to my being obliged to depart this After-
noon to wait on the General at Frederickton next Tuesday
Evening
I am with the greatest Respect.
Letter Bk. I.
[Sharpe to Baltimore.]

April 19th [i 755]
My Ld
I am sorry to be obliged to acquaint your Ldp how averse
the House of Burgesses have shewn themselves to making any
Amendments in the Inspection Law in Obedience to your Ldps
Request & Requisition, of which I advised them as soon as I
had the honour to receive your Ldp's Instruction upon my
communicating to the Gent" of the Council the Address of the
Lower House in answer to my message they told me that the
Obstinacy of the Delegates in that matter would determine
them to prepare an Address to your Ldp which they hoped I
would not refuse to present, & tho I wd not presume to urge
any thing myself after your Ldp has signified your pleasure &
Determination concerning that Law yet I thought myself
obliged to comply with their Desire by transmitting the
inclosed in a Letter to your Ldp. The proceedings of both
Houses & the Consequence & Issue of their Meeting with
respect to the Business & Service on wch they were convened
your Ldp will learn from the lournals now sent to be submitted
to your Ldp & I should receive the greatest Satisfaction from
knowing that your Ldp does not disapprove of the part which
I have acted therein. The Letter that I did myself the honour
to write the 12th of March informed your Ldp that General
