[Gov. Hamilton to Sharpe.]
Sir
I have received the favour of your letter of the 16th instant,
acquainting me with your appointment to the Government of
Maryland, and of your safe arrival in that Province: upon
which, I very heartily congratulate you, and wish you much
ease and satisfaction, in your administration.
As I am perswaded that a ffriendly correspondence between
the Governors of the several British Plantations cannot fail of
conducing to the general benefit of the whole, it gives me a
sensible pleasure to find you on your first Arrival making so
free, and candid a declaration upon that Head. You will
please to be assured, my Disposition, with regard to this sub-

greatest pleasure in giving you testimonies of it upon all occa-
sions.
I am Sir
Your most obedient humble servant
Iames Hamilton
