May It please your Excellency

The last Ships bound home for England are speedily to
Sail by which the Lord Proprietary will in reason expect
Remittances to be made him of his last Years Revenue Viz.
the 2sh & 9d p hhd deducting thereout a thousand pounds
for your Excellency's Sallary This I shewed you in my
Instructions which I doubt not you knew before by Mr
Bordley I therefore desire you will please to give Orders to
the several Officers in whose Hands that Revenue is placed
to account with & pay the same to me for his Lordship's
Use, for a very small delay in this matter will be a very
great Prejudice to his Ldp because thereby he will fail of it
this year which I hope your Excellency will think fit to prevent

I most humbly recommend to your Excellency that Caution
be used in assenting to some Laws which I understand are
prepared and whereby his Lordships Interest will so evidently
suffer detriment without a Salvo at least of their not taking
Effect till his Lordship's pleasure be known that his Lordship
may have time if he shall think it proper to square his Pro-
ceedings to the Tenour of such Laws I am
Your Excellency's very humble Servant
Charles Carrol.

Which being by his Excellency the Governour recommended
to both Houses of Assembly for their opinion thereon It is
humbly the opinion of these Conferees
