Papers.

Abilities both as to public and private Concerns, under the
Lord Proprietor, Excuse me, you give me Concern, Iealousy,
the Malady of the Colony.
Concerning your Letters of Clergy for Benefices, on their
Arrival with your Testimonials and good Character for Holy
Orders, Lord Baltimores recommendatory Letter to the Bishop
of London induces him to Accept of them, and they accord-
ingly Obtain Institution, But then, it is by an Written promise
from Lord Baltimore to the Bishop that he will induct them
into provincial Benefice, otherways the Bishop will not Ordain;
not provincially as you seem to Hint; Why not provided,
must be Cleared to the Bishop who Ordained on Honourable
Promise to provide. Touching your hint of his Lordships
desire of the Sheriff for Dorchester County you mention " Mr
Anderson by him I know not your meaning; In my memo-
randum to you the 17th of March last is Mr Harrison nephew
to Iohn Caile for that Sheveralty, if Suitable and Secure to his
Lordships Affairs and you approved; the request was by Sr
Thomas Abdy, such Applications his Lordship is Subject to,
if Complied with or not is not important. Of Alienation Fines
mentioned in his Lordships Instructions I recommend to Com-
mune only with Mr Commissary Dulany for fear of Alarm, he
knows how the Conditions can be improved; I have reasons
for this hint, and it is quite proper to discover no hint of this
to him from me to you, With regard to Mr Ridout to be his
Lordships Agent, which his Lordship is very desirous of as
the only Person for that Office he can rely on Especially, on
your Intercourse and that you will favour with your Inspection
and Consideration thereon with him as a Repository is neces-
sary for all Deeds &c. perhaps such Building may be had by
purchase if not to be built in Annapolis, Entituled the Agent
and Receiver General's Office, when Established, the requi-
sites in Office will be wanted, on Mr Ridout making a List of
such Wants, I have no doubt of his Lordships Compliance,
and I will take Care be transmitted him. I have hinted to Mr
Lloyd that his Lordships Affairs under his Care his Lordship
intends shortly to direct under another Course of Circulation
and management than what they are. I very much thank you
for your Bills by your's the 17th of October. I have heard not
of Mr Calvert having intruded too much on your Patience I
here End, with this Addition, that I am with the Real Esteem
and Respect. —
Your Thankful & Obliged Servant
Caecils Calvert.
