Troops in the Winter I have the Kings Commission to Command
all Men that are or shall be in Arms in North America, I am on the
Spot, and whilst the King does me the Honour to continue that Com-
mission to me I will execute it, and if any Officer or Soldier presume
to disobey my Orders I will treat him as the Law directs — If my
Business can possibly permit me I will come immediately to An-
napolis where I do not doubt but you and I will be able to set things
in such a light as will be perfectly satisfactory to the Gentlemen of
your Assembly and to every other man that has the safety and Pros-
perity of Maryland at heart and indeed of every man that has the
prosperity and safety of his Majesty's Subjects and Dominions in
North America. As the Business I am engaged in may put it out of
my Power to make this Journey so soon as I could wish I must begg
that you will take every measure to bring your Assembly to a right
understanding of this so essential a point both for themselves and
his Majesty's Dominions in North America and that you will from
time to time acquaint me by express of what Resolutions are taken
in this affair.
I am with great Regard
Sir
To Governor Sharpe Your most Obed.'
