260 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.

guess in what manner the General had wrote to him, how-
ever at last he told me that the General had given a Warrant
in his name for £15 19. 10. 8 ster but that Mr Barren who had
given an order on Mr Neilson for that sum and had wrote him
that is even rather more than the difference betwixt what he
had paid me more than the £1500 Mr Kilby was to advance
tho through some mistake its £79. 19. 7 less that it ought to
have been drawn in mine and he was resolv'd to have nothing
to do with it you may be assured that in my situation I used
every Argument I could think of to induce him to remove
every obstacle that might keep me here any longer at last he
hinted to me that there was another punctilio (as he termed it)
to be settled but would not explain himself then nor satisfy me
when he would tho I begd that every thing might be left to
Mr Peters to adjust
This morning I waited on Mr Peters who very kindly
undertook to call on Mr Howell to learn what he would be at
& I flatter myself that he can not propose any thing to that
Gentlemen inconsistent with me to agree to but I have not
seen Mr Peters since as he has been all day at the Governors
for the express from General Amherst giving the authentic
account of the Surrender of Lewisburg only came in this fore-
noon and I enclose your Excelly the N York papers which
contain all that is come to my knowlege. Mr peters said the
express for General Forbes would not go away till to morrow
forenoon but the express he says he has recd orders since I
saw Mr Peters to be ready to set out in half an hour so I write
this to come by him least he should go away before I can see
Mr Peters but as I have seen Copys of the Warrant and
receipts sent by Mr Barrone to Jno Neilson I cannot se there
can be any reall difficulty in settling the affairs with Mr Howell
when He comes to think of it seriously the express he got his
letters and Mr Peters tells me he has been so busy in sending
an important peice of intelligence to General Forbes that
it has been out of his power to se Mr Howell so must conclude
and am
Your Excelly
Your most obliged & obedt huml Servt
D. Ross.

P. S. I did not forget the medicine I had them put up soon
after I got here but I could neither persuad express nor post
to bring them to Frederick Town so I sent them to Annapolis
as the speediest way to convey them.
