436 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe,

Letter Bk. V

[Sharpe to Baltimore.]

To Lord Baltimore. Annapolis 24^th Nov^r 1767
My Lord
In the Letter I had the honour to address to Your Ldp the
29^th of last Month I remitted Firsts of Thirty two Setts of
Exchange amounting to the Sum of £1363 1 8 51/2 Seconds of
which were also remitted the second Inst by another Ship. I
then informed Your Ldp that we were about to set off for
Frederick County in order to sell Conegocheague Mannour
but on our Arrival there we could sell no more of it than
897^ Acres which was struck off at £86 1 6 6 & we were
obliged to give the Purchaser some Indulgence for the first
payment so that no Part thereof hath been yet received.
There hath however since our Return from Frederick been
paid by Persons who purchased part of Anne Arundel Man-
nour the Sum of £284 11 6 1/4 for which I embrace this oppor-
tunity to remit Your Ldp Bills of Excha as mentioned in the
inclosed List. After we have attended at Baltimore the 2^d of
next Month in order to put up again the Mannour on Gun-
powder We are to go down to S^t Marys & Charles Counties
to sell if we can the Mannours in that part of the Province
but I am very apprehensive sufficient purchasers will not offer
& the Tenants are said to be in general very poor & unable
to bid. I beg Leave once more to assure Your Ldp that with
the utmost Respect I am Y^r Ldps mO devoted humb. Serv^t

Copy of Letter to M^r Hamersley. Dated Annapolis 25^th
Novem^r 1767 transmitted by the Ship Lord Ligonier
Capt. Davies.
D^r S^r
Since I addressed a Letter to you the 3^d Inst I have been
favoured with yours of the 14^th of August inclosing a Copy of
the Memorial which it seems M^r Stewart had presented to the
Lords of the Treasury concerning the Quarantine Acts that
were lately pass't in Virginia & this Province. Presuming
you have long before this time received the Letters I wrote to
you the 27^th of July & 4^th of Sept^r as well as my Remarks on
our Law I apprehend it is needless to trouble you again on
the Subject especially as you give me reason to believe that
before this time the Fate of those Acts hath been determined.
The part you have acted on the occasion entitles you to the
Thanks of the Province in general & will I am persuaded be
seen by the Lower House as well as by the Council in a
proper light when I communicate to them your Letters
