 476 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.

Letter Bk. III
that a Correspondence between the several Governors of these
Colonies is at this time highly expedient is exactly agreeable
to my own Sentiments & I beg leave to assure you that I shall
be proud of & shall endeavour to deserve your Confidence &
friendly Correspondence & that I shall on all Occasions freely
communicate to you on any Matter whereby these Colonies
may possibly be affected or His Majesty's Service promoted —
The Letter you was pleased to inclose me from Ld Loudoun
advises me as you imagined of the unhappy Accident that he
suspects has happened on Ontario Lake. Your Apprehensions
that this will have the worst Effect on the Indian Nations are I
am afraid too well grounded & I am of Your Opinion that
unless We can carry the War into the Enemy's Country We
shall in vain endeavour to secure our own. We have already
200 Men on our Frontiers but on this News I have ordered
out 200 of the Militia to act in Conjunction with them &
endeavour to cover our Western Settlements. The Letters
that were directed for the Governors of the Southern Colonies
I have dispatched to Govr Dinwiddie. I shall meet our
Assembly as soon as possible & recommend it to them to take
such Measures on this Occasion as the present posture of
Affairs requires, if Your Assembly sets a good Example, early
Advice of it might contribute much to my Success & would
much oblige Sr Yrs —

Original.
[Morris to Sharpe.]

Sir .
Mr Brook who will have the honor to deliver you this is a
gentleman that has for some time filld a Mission at New Castle
and has behaved in such a manner as to gain the esteem not
only of his congregation but of many others in this Province.
He tells me that the air of New Castle does not agree with his
health and obliges him to seek a settlement in his native coun-
try Maryland, You will permit me to give him this testi-
monial of his behavour and to recomend him as a sensible
worthy man to your notice and favour. I have the Honor
to be
Sir
Your Most Obedt
Humble Servt
Philada Augst 30. Robt H. Morris

1756.
Govr Sharpe
