and of their ardent Zeal for the well fare of the Protestant
Religion.
I shall not be wanting To give the best Impressions I am
Capable of, to the Lord Propry (and the Lord Guilford on his
Lordships behalf) of your hearty Congratulation to his Lord-
ship on his Restoration to the Governmt in this Province and
as I am convinced that a good understanding between the
Lord Propry and the Inhabitants of Maryland is Equally the
Interest of his Lordship and this people, I shall not omitt my
duty To Inform his Lordship, of such men as either have or
may lead his Lordship into Improper measures, so as to give
any disgust to the well affected in this Government.
As to what relates to my particular, It is very obligeing and
kind, That I chuse to make my acknowledgements by the Sin-
cerity of my actions as the Best return I can offer for the good
opinion they have of my Conduct
I am Sorry I have reason to Say (notwithstanding I find my
administration so acceptable to this Province) That I have been
under a necessity to desire my Lord Propry and my Lord
Guilford that they will please to remove me from the Station
I am in. Some of my reasons for such request will appear to
you on the perusal of the Copy of Mr Charles Carrolls Comis-
sion herewith sent you
I would not be understood that I Impute the Treatment I
have mett with to the Lord Propry nor yet to my Lord Guil-
ford, but to the advice of some persons who Either are not
Capable or unwilling to give better Council
