Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 347


 

 
Treaty every day having an Interpreter there who has my
orders to proceed here & bring with him the Minutes of what
passes as soon as the Treaty is finish'd and I shall transmit
them to you as soon as they come to hand.
I thank you for your favour to Munier Le Blanc which I was
induced to ask from Compassion to him & his Family.
I hope your Assembly will not suffer any thing done by the
Officers in enlisting Servants to prejudice the Kings Service in
such important Points as you have to lay before them.
The London Packet is arrivd and sailed last Tuesday
Sevennight for England. You have no Letters lying in the
Post Office.
My Assembly have been sitting since the 3d Febry but
I have not as yet heard from them on any of the matters
I recommended to them, nor do I know as what disposition
they are but I judge from their silence that it is not very
favourable as to the supplies requested of them.
This waits on you by Express with Letters from Genl
Shirley by which you will be informd of what is doing to the
Eastward where a noble warlike spirit reigns but when it will
spread into these Western Regions God only knows.
I am with great truth Sir
Your Most obedt Humble Servt
Robt H: Morris.
 

 
[Shirley to Sharpe.]

Boston March 5th 1756.
Sir
Inclosed is the Extract of a Letter which I have lately
received by Colonel Washington from Govr Dinwiddie calling
upon me to determine the right of Command between him and
Capt Dagworthy.
You was pleased to assure me at New York that you would
send such Orders to Capt Dagworthy as would put an end to
this dispute and afterwards that you had actually done it.
I should be extremely unwilling to do any thing that might
appear in the least disagreeable to any Gentleman, who has
had the Honour of bearing his Majesty's Commission, and
should have been glad that no such Dispute had come before
me; But as the Command I am honoured with from his
Majesty obliges me upon all occasions to act the best for His
Service, I must desire that Capt Dagworthy may be removed
from Fort Cumberland; or acquainted, that if he remains
there, he must put himself under the Command of Colonel
Washington.


Original.
