234 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.
Letter Bk. I. Wm Goldsborough are I suppose as good Men as can be
found among the Members of His Ldp's Council & I pre-
sume he would choose to give the Gentn of the Council the
preference, but suppose these Gentn or either of them should
decline who must in that Case be appointed or will His Ldp
be satisfied if only one is appointed to that Office. I hope
His Ldp will not leave it to me to displace Colo Lloyd (&
unless he is displaced it signifies nothing lo talk of a Successor
for resign he never will) or at least if His Ldp does leave it to
me I hope I shall have a positive Instruction for doing so, but
as he is one of the Council I think it will be better for you to
p. 366 write to him & to communicate to Him his Ldp's Reasons for
making such a necessary Change. Inclosed I send you a List
of the Members of His Ldps Council with some Reasons why
several of them may not be appointed Agents.

coud therefore come this length, a detacht of light Horse shall
be sent to Colo Chambers's for your Escort, And shou'd the
Genl leave this before you can come he will take the Road by
Shippensbourg & Chambers's. The Artillery set off to mor-
row from this. I am

Fort Frederick the 12th of Iuly 1758.
Sir
As I am told that the Ludlow Castle has not yet left Vir-
ginia tho all the Vessels that belong to this Province sailed
some weeks ago for the Place of Rendezvous I take the
Liberty to inclose you a few Letters which I should be glad to
have sent by this Convoy hoping that you will be so kind as
to give Orders for their being put on Board any of the Vessels
that are bound to London. Since I did myself the honour to
