564 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.

of your different favors as they have been put into M^r Eden's
hands accompanyed with the Lord Proprietarys Sentiments for
his Government. But I am particularly Charged by his Lord-
ship again and again to repeat his entire Approbation of your
Conduct in these as in every other particular and that it is his
greatest wish to see M^r Eden succeed as happily in his
Administration as you have done in yours.
Before this time I Presume he is Arrived amongst you and
has fully acquitted himself of so much of his Commission as
has directed him to Communicate to you the same grateful
Sentiments more immediately from his Lordship and that
from the manner of Delivering his Commands you will have
perceived the particular pleasure he has in executing them as
well as the sincerity & Cordiality with which they have been
dictated.
I have only to Add, what I am persuaded M^r Eden has like-
wise anticipated me in, that there is nothing in his Lordships
power which can Contribute to make your future residence in
the Province, If that should be your Intention, in any degree
Comfortable and agreable, but what you may always Com-
mand from his Lordship. If such an Occasion or any other
may induce a Continuance of our Correspondence it will be
most heartily embraced by S^r
Yo^r Most Faithful Hble Serv^t
Hugh Hamersley.
His Lordship who has been
several months abroad, has not yet
favored me w^th his Commands upon
the Acco^t of M^r Leeds or the other
small one of Garnetts w^ch was in his
Father's time but I could wish they were
Presented to M^r Eden to Report upon them.

of Lord Baltimore, on Account of further Sales of the Manorial
Lands made by you and M^r Dulany, together with a State of
the Sales, which I have transmitted to his Lordship, who has
lately left Petersburgh, but where he will go next, or when he
thinks of returning to England I have not yet learnt. I have
executed your Commands to his Lordship and shall take care
to forward your Letters to him as they come to hand. I am
obliged to you for the Virginia Resolves, and only wish
