Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 393

an Address that was this Day presented to me by the Gentle-
men of the Upper House in justification of their Conduct.
As the People of this Province in general seem dead to all
Sense of Gratitude & Duty to our most gracious Sovereign
& the mother Country & to have been incited at the Begin-
ning of the War to grant Supplies by no other motive than
Fear (our Frontiers being then laid waste & depopulated by
the Savages) & the Inhabitants now think themselves quite
secure I do not imagine their Representatives will be by any
means prevailed on to raise & support any more Troops
during the Continuance of this War & I much question
whether they will ever have honour enough to pay off the
Arrears which are due to the Forces that were some time ago
in the Service of the Province notwithstanding they have by
several Resolves acknowledged the Justice of their Claims.
Hoping Your Excellency will believe that no Endeavours of
mine have been wanting to obtain the Supplies wch the As-
sembly of this Province ought at this time to have granted &
most sincerely wishing you a continued Series of Success
during the ensuing Campaign I am with great Regard Sr — 		Letter Bk. III
[Fauquier to Sharpe.]

Wmsburgh April 12th 1760
Sr
This will be delivered to you by Mr Fox who is going into
Maryland with a Hue and cry from me to look after a mulatto
slave belonging to Colonel Bernard Moore of this Colony,
who has recd Intelligence of his being now on Board some ship
in Maryland. If any orders from you to the Justices of your
Colony should be necessary to secure him I take the Liberty
to beg your assistance, or if the expences should exceed his
stock of mony, I will be answerable for any sum, you will
draw upon me for in favour of Mr Fox. Colonel Moore being
a gentleman of Note in the Colony for whom I have a great
personal Regard.
I am with great Esteem Sr
yr Excellency's most obedt hum: Servant
Fran: Fauquier

p. S. When you write to Dr Gregory Sharpe I should be
much obliged to you to enquire what is become of Sr Isaac
Newtons papers relating to the History of the two first cen-
turies of Christianity. I am solicitous about their Fate.

Original.
