expected I beg it may no longer be delayed; I am sir your
most sincere freind & well wisher
F Baltimore
 

 
[Sharpe to Baltimore.]

May 22. 1755. Annapolis —
My Ld
In the last Letter that I did myself the honour to write to
your Ldp I intimated my Intention to wait on the General at
Frederickton & shew my Obedience to your Ldp's Requisition
by paying His Excellency all possible Respect during his Stay
in your Ldp's Province; it being very difficult to get Waggons
enough to carry up the Stores & Baggage that were to be
conveyed to Wills Creek thro this Governt The Regiment
could not march from Frederickton before the 29th of April &
the General did not leave that place till the first of May when
I waited on him over Potowmack in the way to Winchester &
then took my Leave. I have received a Letter from the
Camp since the General & the Troops have been at Wills
Creek but it contained no Intelligence at all of the Number of
the Enemy at the Fort or any other thing of Importance. I


Letter Bk. I.
p. 123
believe the Stores must be e'er this time all carried up & I
expect they will leave Wills-Creek & march Westward some
Day next week. I have not been advised by either of the
Governors how nearly the Corps forming in the northern
Govts are compleated tho I hear the Levies go on briskly & I
expect to receive Letters informing me of their Success in
Nova Scotia every Day. the Assemblies of Virginia & Pensil-
vania are now sitting but I have not learnt what is likely to be
the Issue of their meeting — I am now to acquaint your Ldp
with the Decease of Colo. Plater a Member of your Ldp's
Council who had lately the honour to be distinguished by Mr
Calvert's Commission to him as Secretary. By this Loss
another Seat becomes vacant in your Ldps Council, & your
Ldp will be also pleased to signify whom your Ldp approves
of as his Successor in the other Office. According to your
Ldps late Instructions Mr Darnall enjoys the Naval Office of
Potuxent & Mr Graham the Naval Office of Pocomoke & is also
Surveyor General of the Eastern Shore, but as Mr Young Son of
the late Judge of the Land Office has married Mrs Graham for
whose Benefit Mr Charles Graham by your Ldp's Command
held these Offices perhaps it may please your Ldp to order
the Commissions to Mr Young himself which I submit to your
Ldp & am &c.
