Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 341

have heard he says oblige me to a pecuniary compensation to
him for the loss of an impossible bequest; he might as well,
have the bequest itself. I am however not the least displeased
at him & on the contrary as he says he is coming to England
shall be glad to do him a peice of Service, but by no means
desire or would accept of the least resignation of his claims
to any thing in this world he thinks he has a Right to.
I wish I knew of any thing particularly to send you from
Europe I shall att all times readily do so, to shew you my
Regard.
A few weeks ago sailed hence M^r Alien a gentleman for
whom I have a very great Regard & for whom I have desired
you to provide for particularly. I am with greatest Esteem &
Friendship Your most humble
& most obed Serv^t

were all clear as to my right. And I shall be glad, if it were to
come to a Tryal & therefore desire you will finish the sale
particularly of Ann Arundel even at an under value, that M^r
Calvert may begin when he comes to England his attack.
