564 Correspondence of Gov. Horatio Sharpe, 1754-1765.

Province, and being recommended to Lord Baltimore both
in our Church and State as worthy of Benefice, he accepts
him; and directs me to acquaint you (apprehend^g you have
no objection to him) to establish him on vacancy by institu-
tion to a Benefice in his province, where M^r Howard says, he
has been Resident years and is desirous of dwelling, with
gratitude to his Lordship. I can't help continuance touch-
ing his Lord^ps pecuniary Revenues Instructions relative you
know has been sent by my Lord concern^g with admonitions
from me to M^r Lloyd the Rec^r General, all to no purpose; of
which disregard My Lord express's much dissatisfaction and
resentment. Provincial People and others who have trav-
ersed the province during the last War have manifested
Ill-usage Loss, and neglect committed upon his private prop-
erty by vague management, the disobedience to his Instruc-
tions and the representations to him has brought upon his
Lord^p determined resolutions, either to send from hence a
person well-impowered to settle and adjust such his material
concerns or else, to visit the province himself, and this next
spring; the latter he seems greatly inclined to, of these his
resolutions I will inform you the earliest I can. he intends
no remove to you, But in like manner as did his father to
Gov^r Ogle upon his arrival leaving you in the State & con-
ditions as you were in upon his departure; relying on you as
usual of your good Counsel, conduct, affection and service in
all things during his residence.

I am with all Respect & Esteem

Y^rs truly
