 36 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.
Letter Bk. I.
p. 283 		on this Subject but I was desirous to shew that I would have
obliged Mr Hanbury to the utmost of his Wishes if it had
been possible & that as it is he has indeed no room to com-
plain of His Friends being neglected. I have by this Oppor-
tunity of Conveyance sent Mr Calvert an exact Map of Prince
Georges County which has been surveyed agreeable to Your
Ldp's Instructions, I have also sent a Copy of the Journall
of the Proceedings of the Upper House & also one of the
Proceedings of the Burgesses during the last Session of As-
sembly together with Copies of the Acts that were then made
which I hope Your Ldp will be pleased to approve of I did
intend to have transmitted also by this Ship a Rent Roll &
some Platts of Your Ldp's Mannours but as she carries no
Guns & as I understand that other Vessels are to sail some
Day next Month under Convoy of His Majesty's Ship the
Garland I have thought it more advisable to send the other
Papers by one of those Vessels & the rather as it is doubtful
whether this Vessel also will not wait in Virga for the Benefit
of the same Convoy. Having acknowledged the Receipt of

from Ireland is at length arrived at Hallifax. On the 18th Inst
the Inhabitants of Virginia Pensa & this Province were greatly
alarmed & I received a Letter dated the 14th by Express from
Fort Cumberland wherein Capt Dagworthy told me that some
Cherokee Indians who were just come thither from Fort du
Quesne declared that they had seen a large Body of Regular
Troops & a great Number of Indians with a Train of Wag-
gons & some Artillery marching thence towards the Frontiers
of this Province. As this Account did not much differ from
what we had been bid to expect by some Prisoners that made
their Escape from the French in the Winter I could not help
giving some Credit to it & therefore on Sunday the Day after
I received Capt Dagworthy's Letter I set off for Frederick
Town with an Intention to assemble the Militia of that County
& to act in Conjunction with Colo Stanwix or as His Majesty's
Service & the Motions of the Enemy should require. On my
Arrival at Frederick Town I dispatched a Letter to Colo Stan-
