that your Assembly is prorogued to July without granting
Supplies.
As no Forces are likely to be raised in Maryland I beg
leave to recommend to you Majors Jemmison and Armstrong
for liberty to beat up for Volunteers in your Province for the
Pennsylvania Regiment which is to consist of the same num-
ber as last Year that is Two Thousand seven hundred Effec-
tive Men Officers included.
I shall at all Times be glad to give the same Liberty to any
Officers you shall please to send here on the Same Service in
behalf of your Province. I am, Sir,
your most obedient humble servant
William Denny
His Excellency Governor Sharp.

18th May 1759 —
Sir
In a Letter which I have just now received from General
Stanwix he desires me to forward to you the inclosed Letters
& to beg the favour of you to forward those of them that are
not addressed to Yourself. At the same time I do myself the
honour to acknowledge the Receit of Your Lettr by Mr Walker
in Compliance, with which I have wrote to Dr Ross who had
the Care of Victualling our Troops at Fort Cumberland &
have desired him to account wth Mr Walker for the Provisions
that were left there when the Virga Troops evacuated that
post in April 1757 & which were afterwards served out to the
Maryland Provincials & I hope these Gentln will settle the
Affair to the Satisfaction of all Parties —
