Sir
I understand that many Papers of very great Consequence
relating to the Affairs of this Province fell into your Hands at
the Death of your Father, who was greatly intrusted by his
Lordship in the Managemt of his most important Affairs,
which lays me under an Obligation of requiring the Delivery
of them either to his Lordships Agent or myself: This, I hope
upon Consideration, you will think but very just & reasonable,
whatever Reasons you may have had to satisfy yourself with
the detaining of them for so long a time
I am Sir
Your most humble Servant
To Charles Carrol Esqr Sam: Ogle

Papers of very great Consequence relating to the Affairs of
this Province fell into my Hands at the Death of my Father,
will point out such papers and Shew that they are not of as
great Consequence to myself as to his Lordship I shall readily
deliver them

Managemt of his most important Affairs and authorized to act

thing in my -Power conducive to his Lordships Interest) if
desired, tho' I think they cannot be required
This I imagine is all that can be reasonably expected, and
I beg you will be of Opinion I do not detain any Paper's till
you specify them and meet a Refusal I am
Sir Your most hble servant

Sir
I have received Yours of the 27th Instant, and am very far
from desiring You to deliver up any Papers of Consequence
to Your self, but only such as relate wholly to his Lordships
Affairs, and sure both Justice and Honour require this at your
Hands in the strongest manner.
As to your Desire of my pointing out to you the particular
Papers that are of Consequence to his Lordship, and not of as
