566 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.

Jan^ry is at present uncertain but the general Inclination of all
Partys seems to be for Conciliat^y measures which I believe will
take place whether the present Ministry continue in power
(as they seem fully Determined to do) or are Succeeded by
any other of the Factions now on foot.
I am, with due regard and Esteem,
Your most obedt. Hble. Serv^t
Hugh Hamersley.

Letter to M^r Hamersley Dated Annapolis 17^th April 1770.
transmitted by Captain
Sir
I have lately received your Letter of the 30^th of Nov^r inclos-
ing a protested Bill for £8. I rejoice to hear that My Lord
was well when he wrote from Dresden, my best Wishes ever
attend him. I have not had the pleasure to receive any Letter
from His Ldp of a later Date than the year 1768 so that if he
did me the honour to write to Me as you say you apprehended
the Letter has not yet reached me. I now remit you inclosed
Firsts of Twenty two more Setts of Exchange that have been
paid in on Account of Mannour Lands amounting together to
the Sum of £898 7 2 the Receipt of which you'll be pleased
to acknowledge when an Opportunity offers. I am &c.

Original,

[Hamersley to Sharpe.]

S^r
I am this day favored with yours of the 17: April Enclosing
Firsts of 22. Setts of Exchange that have been paid in on
account of Manor Lands amounting to £898 7 2. I am much
surprized that you have not heard from Lord Baltimore, as,
when I wrote last, I had just received a Letter from him order-
ing me to Acquaint you that he intended himself that pleasure
immediately. I have heard from his Lordship from Lindau
on Boden Sea, within these tew days, he writes in good
Spirits, speaks favourably of his Health, and Contradicts all
the Reports Spread of him from Florence Vienna &c of
Duels, Murthers and hairbreadth Escapes. He has sold his
House in Southampton Row and makes no mention of return-
ing to England. I hope you continue to Enjoy your health
and am S^r
Yo^r Most Humble Serv^t
