[Sharpe to Calvert]
Copy of 118th Letter to Mr Calvert. Dated 26th April 1763.
Sir
I was very sorry to find by the Letters you were pleased to
write to me the 26th of Novr last, which came to hand about a
week ago & some English Papers that by reason of one Ship's
being lost which sailed hence last May & of the Detention &
long Passage of some others which were to have sailed for
England early in the Summer several Letters which I had from
time to time wrote to you were either not received at all by
you or not till a great While after the time when I expected
they would have been delivered, however as I perceive that
several of the Fleet by which I wrote had put into Cork the
Beginning of January I flatter myself that my Letters trans-
mitted by them have been presented to you before this time &
that you no longer suspect me of having been dilatory or
backward in answering the Letters with which you had been
pleased to favour me & as our Ships will for the future clear
out for this Province & return to Europe seperately & at all
Seasons I hope to have the Satisfaction of receiving Letters
more frequently & you may depend on my writing by every
convenient opportunity or at least as often as I shall have any
thing worthy His Ldp's or your notice to communicate. In my
Letter dated the 3d of Novr last I sent you a Copy of the Sur-
|
Letter Bk IV.
