528 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.

Letter Bk. V

25^th of July & nothing of Consequence enough to trouble
your Ldp about having since occurred here This only serves
to convey to your hands the Firsts of some Bills of Excha for
£2475 3 4:54 which have been paid to M^r Dulany & Myself
Part of Them on Account of Land by us sold since M^r Jordans
Departure & the Residue on Account of what was sold while
he was in the Province, I expect to send your Ldp by some
other Conveyance very shortly other Bills on the same Account
together with a particular State shewing for what Considera-
tion they were respectively paid. I shall by this Opportunity
send to M^r Hamersley in order that he might present the
same to your Ldp a Copy of the Plan or Draft of the Boundary
Lines w^ch have been run between this Province & Pennsylvania
also a Copy of the Certificate given by the Commissioners to
Mess^rs Mason & Dixon before their Departure. All that
remains to be done is for the Commissioners to make Return
of their Commission which they would have now done but for
the Reason I have mentioned in my Letter to M^r Hamersley,
But tho the Business is not finally concluded there is an End
to the great Expence that attended it on which I congratulate
your Ldp & hope you will reap all the Benefit from the Work
that you could expect or hope for. What I have wrote to M^r
Hamersley in the Letter I have above alluded to makes it
unnecessary for me to protract this farther than to wish your
Ldp all imaginable happiness & to assure your Ldp that I
shall ever remain My Ld Y^r Ldps &c.

[Sharpe to Hamersley.]

Since I did myself the honour to write to His Ldp & your-
self the 25^th of July I have not been favoured with any Letter
either from Him or you except that you were pleased to
transmit me the 14^th of April under Cover to M^r Chamberlaine
by whose Son it was presented to Me a few Days ago & in
Obedience to His Ldps pleasure thereby signified I shall on
the 29^th Inst (the End of the year with regard to the Naval
Officers Accounts) appoint M^r Chamberlaine's Son Naval
Officer of Oxford instead of himself. Agreeable to the Inti-
mation I gave in my last I shall by this Opportunity remit His
Ldp Bills of Exchange to the Amount of £2475 3 4^ part
thereof being on Account of Lands sold by M^r Dulany & Me
since M^r Jordans Departure & the Residue on Account of
Lands sold while he was in the Province, I expect to remit
other Bills by some early Opportunity & a particular State
