Letter Bk.III

[Sharpe to Shelhurne.]

To Lord Shelburne Annapolis 14th Octr 1767
My Lord
I do myself the honour to acknowledge the Receipt of Your
Ldps Letter dated the 11th of July last inclosing a Copy of the
Act of Parliament pass't last Session entitled "An Act for
granting certain Duties in the British Colonies & Plantations
in America for allowing a Drawback of the Duties of Cus-
toms upon the Exportation from this Kingdom of Coffee &
Cocoa Nuts of the Produce of the said Colonies or Plantations
for discontinuing the Drawbacks payable on China earthen
Ware exported to America & for more effectually preventing
the Clandestine Running of Goods in the said Colonies &
Plantations" I beg leave to assure Your Ldp that I shall take
Care to have due obedience paid thereto within this Province

Letter Bk. V

[Sharpe to Baltimore.]

To Lord Baltimore. Annapolis 29th Octr 1767
My Lord
Having lately had the honour to receive the Letter your
Ldp was pleased to write to me the 15th of April last in favour
of the Revd Mr Edmiston I have according to your Ldps Order
entered him on the List for Preferment. Since I last addressed
myself to your Ldp Mr Jordan & I (Mr Dulany by reason of
Sickness having excused himself from accompanying us) went
over the Bay in order to set up to Sale your Ldps Mannours
in Kent & Queen Anns Counties but I am sorry to inform
your Ldp that we could not at that time sell more of the
Mannour in Queen Annes than 822 Acres, & of the Mannour
in Kent no part was sold, for as there were no persons willing
to bid except for a very few Tenements that lay in different
parts of it We were of Opinion that it would be better to
postpone the Sale altogether & not by selling out such few
Parcels only dismember the Mannour & as it were cut it in
pieces. I did expect that all the purchasers of what hath been
sold out of Ann Arundel Mannour would e'er this have made
their first payment but some have not yet done so, however I
now remit your Ldp the Firsts of Thirty two Setts of Bills of
Exchange that have been paid us since I wrote to your Ldp
the 12th of Septr amounting as pr the inclosed List to the Sum
of £1363 1 8 51/2 I also remit inclosed a second of the Bill of
Exchange for £15 8 9 1/4 the First of which was remitted to
your Ldp in my Letter of the 12th Ult. Mr Adams the Rector
of St James's Parish in this County having died about a Week
