this Province (tho we must be much affected by such Offences)
we could not take Cognizance at all of the fact of which he
was accused. — By the Paragraph concerning the present manner

sent in my last for your use & Disposal. Your nomination of
Mr Dulany's youngest Son I am well satisfied with, but as I

of a Vacancy a Present will be offered as has been usual to
Mr Jenings I wait your Commands for my Behaviour on such
Occasion.

Dear Sir

Monday I've have but just time to Notice to you that My Lord
has recd Mr Calvert's Letters of Advice of the Death of Mr
Young & your having thereupon offered him to be Iudge of
the Land office in conjunction with Mr Stuart. His puncto of
Honour, warmth & difficulties he seem's to laye under in regard
to his own pecuniary Intrest wh has Caused him to an Ill-
behaviour on your kind & good offered friendship to him has
not a little Netled his Lordhp resentment agt him; however he
has postponed his Determination thereon till hears in relation
thereto from you.
