450 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.

[Sharpe to Governor Hamilton.]

Annapolis the 19^th of Sept^r 1760.
Sir
Your Favour of the 15^th Inst. I have just now received
together with a large Packett from England containing "The
Agreement between Lord Baltimore & Mess^rs Penns" & "A
Commission for Running the Boundary Lines." The Com-
missioners appointed by the R^l Hon^ble the Ld Proprietary of
this Province besides myself are the Hon^ble Benjⁿ Tasker jun^r
Edw^d Lloyd, Jenkins Henry Dan^l Dulany & S. Bordley Esq^r &
the Rev^d M^r Alex^r Malcolm, most of whom I expect to see at
Annapolis some Day next Week when I shall communicate to
them the Contents of Your Letter & will soon afterwards send
You a more particular Answer to it, but I apprehend it will
not be in our Power to meet You so soon as the Middle of
Oct^r for in all Probability the Gen^l Assembly of this Province
which is to meet in Consequence of a Letter that I lately
received from Gen^l Monkton will be sitting here at that time.
I congratulate You on the Proprietaries having having at
length taken so effectual a Step to prevent any Disturbances
for the future between their respective Tenants on the Borders
of these Provinces & am with great Regard &c.
