Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 463


 

 

His Majesty having been graciously pleased to send over to
America a number of Officers for the Service of these Coun-
tries his Royall American Regiment of four Battalions does
Expect that the Colonies will supply the Levies for this Regi-
ment, The state of the service does now require that this
Regiment should be immediately Compleated. There is no
aid you could send me in any Shape wou'd be so useful as
Recruits to Compleat this Regiment as under such good
Officers as his Majesty has appointed to it they would be soon
if not directly fitt for service. —
The Levy money is in all Justice and right expected of the
Colonies but if obstructions to the service should arrise within
your Province on this head I must at this time undertake to
advance it.
I do therefore again in the strongest manner desire of you
and your Province that you will without Fail as you shall
answer for the Consequences use your utmost Endeavours to
procure and send me a number of such Recruits If I had this
Regiment Compleated directly I should hope to be able to Act
and remove those dangerous Circumstances under which his
Majesty's Colonies do now labour. In Consequence of his
Majesty's Positive Orders I must require of you to lay a Pro-
hibition on the Exportation of all manner of Provisions as the
sending out such at this time will not only supply the French
everywhere and enable them to Act against us but may in a
very Essential manner distress his Majesty's Service here as I
do not know how soon I may want all that the Colonies can
Furnish.
I am with great Truth and Regard
Sir
Your most Obedient
Humble Servant
Loudoun —
