[Forbes to Sharpe.]
Sir
I Have the Honour of Yours of the 27th of March, the Con-
tents of which I Communicated to General Abercromby, who
Allows me to tell you, that he thinks himself Bound to make
good the Obligation that the Earl of Loudoun Entered into,
with regard to the Maryland Troops Garrisoned at Fort Cum-
berland, and cannot Imagine that the Province of Maryland,
will, at this Critical time, Allow that Fort to be Abandoned.
And makes no doubt but from your prudence & Zeal for the
publick Service, that you will be able to persuade the Prov-
ince, not only to Continue those Troops there, but with all
Diligence to second His Majesty's Intentions, in Raising as
many more Troops as the Necessity of the present Circum-
stances and the Strength of the Province will Admit of.
I am Extreamly obliged to you, for the Care you have taken
to Repair the Roads, and for your orders about providing of
Forrage at Conegocheugue, &c.

Copy.
