My last was of the 23ª Feb. with the enclosed as usual; & I am now to acknowledge the receipt of what you sent by Cap. Thomson; who arriv- ed at Frederica the beginning of March, very happily, after our long Fears of his being lost; on the 16'h. ditto Mr. Jones returning from thence, brought the Box with him, wherein I found your letters of the 25 & 2S Oot, the S Nov, & the 6 Dec; together with the several papers therein sent; & sundry letters & parcells for divers persons; besides a brave Stock of News papers for our Entertainment, &c, very kind: but above all, I there also found 2 Books of Sola Bills of £1000 Ster each, agreeable to the num- bers & contents mentiond in your letter of the 25 Oct'. These things were sufficient to con- found the daring Impudence of all our vile

Many things with- out founda- tion pub- lished as truth.
Slanderers ; whose malice has so long prompted `em to publish many things for truth, wch. were without any foundation; but in their Wishes only, that this Colony must of necessity come soon to destruction ; for there was not any more Succour to be expected; and the Government would shew no farther regard to it. Thus have our Renegades, in conjunction with their dear Friends at Charles Town, been tiekling each other at the Hellish Imagination of; when the more important affair of getting materials to- gether, for carrying on their celebrated Histori- ca! Work, would allow of any vacant hours; whilst such as have a Stedfast disposition here of living under the protection of the Govern- ment, & the good Guardianship of the honour- able Trust, will never suffer a thought to arise. y' they shall be forsaken or forgotten by Them. And I hope what they have been now pleased to send, will be faithfully & punctually accounted for in due time: in the mean while, proper care is taking to get ready our ace's. of the issuing those Sola Bills sent for the Services estimated to be defrayd therewith, which commenced at Michass 1739; weh. I hope will be remitted by Cap'. Thomson as directed, when he goes hence ; but I admire that he still continues at Fred- erica; so y' I have not seen him yet.

I observe, S. with a gratefull Sense of the honourable Trustees Benevolence, yt at the same time you write me there was no letter of mine come to hand since of the 14th. of May (as I find in yours of the 25 Oet') ; instead of imput-

The Orders I have reca to put Capt Thomson in possession of the Lot, late James Smiths, in right of his Wife the Widow Close, shall be ful- filld assoon as I see the Captain here.
The appointment which their Honours have made, of John Pye Recorder here, the Record- er of Frederica, & M. Houstoun, being Conserv- ators of the Peace; for weh End proper Deeds were preparing; I cannot regularly take notice of yet; till I receive those appointments, which yon say are to be sent me: for indeed I am not capable of guessing what their Office is to be, nor how far their power is to extend.
The Coppy you send me of the resolutions made in Common Councill 21 July last, concern- ing the Tenure and cultivation of Lands; is exceeding acceptable to all whom I have com- municated it to ; & I design to publish it at our Court intended to be held in few days. And hereon I cannot but observe, how desirous (it appears) their Honours were of making every body easy in those points here, which some among us had raised such a clamour about, &

Widow Fagets case at Highgate ( web. I partly know already to be deserving proper regard) I shall take care to look into & pursue the direc- tions sent me thereon.

Dr. Garrets affair shall also be conciderd of. by those appointed; but (if I may not be thought to prejudge it) I am of Opinion his de- mands will appear vastly extravagant and un- reasonable.

The 2 Casks of Shoes, transmitted as ? In- voyce, shall be placed properly to acct, as soon as we have 'em from Capt. Thomson; who when he comes shall not want any convenience for his Goods that we can help him to.

I wish Harry Lloyd, now he has his Wife again, may mend upon't; and that his Comfort may influence him to be more lively at work.
My endeavours have been often used, to bring to good effect w. you wrote (more than once) Mrs. Watts desired my assistance in, & I hope in my next I shall say something to the pur- pose; which hitherto I have been ill able to do, by reason of a pretty deal of painstaken, to keep those matters in obscurity; but I think I have at length found Information, what Ten- ants have occupied those premises, how long they lived on the same &c, from the time the

Widow Cox left it: and I am now getting the several Rents ascertained; weh. is the hardest to come at the knowledge of : but you'll please to be assured, I will not easily be defeated in my pursuit of that Justice, weh. is due to the Proprietor.
God send Mr. Metcalfe well among us (who you write is coming) or any good Minister of the Church: never was more need: here is such distraction among us, in Religious matters as well as Civil; that without a steady adherence to the establishment of both, most sad confu- sion unavoidably will be the consequence: but I shall not trouble you with expatiating on these things, wch. I have so frequently taken the lib- erty to animadvert on in my Journals. I say not this thro' want of Charity to such as dis- sent from the Publick Worship of the Ch of England; whom I wish as fellow Protestants, a full enjoyment of that Christian Liberty they have a Right to: but when I see such frequent advances made by some among 'em, to depress the Clergy duly qualifyd; by stirring up their Hearers to a Dislike of their Doctrine; & other ways attempting most invidiously to render them contemptible (not to say worse) in order to exalt themselves; I cannot always be a Hear- er only, (as I have too oft been) of such bitter Invectives; without wishing to see some re- straint given to those foul aspersions so plenti- fully bestowd. Nor would I be understood by this, to take upon me the absolute Vindication of Mr. Norris, from that heavy crime, which

I hope in my next I shall be able to write something, to the purpose of wt we were doing at Tybee on the 1". inst; and that we shall by some means or other at last, attempt to repair that Sea Mark: in the mean while, I hope the honourable Trust do not imagine that we have ever left that place without a person capable of conducting any Vessel of Burthen to that Har- bour out of the Sea; & afterwards up to Savan- nah, if required, which has been done with very good Success, by an Old man, who with his Wife lives there; and by Employing himself some- times in Fishing, has thereby required less sup- port from the Trust, y" otherwise must have been allowd: the whole cost of the last year not exceeding (as I think) 12 or 13 pounds. And since Peter Emery is grown so sturdy; in case it is judged necessary to have a Branch Pilot there (as probably it may) I dare affirm y. here is another Frechokler in this Town, whose name is James Dormer, used to the Sea, knows the Flats, and Shoals, of all this Coast, as well at least as Emery or better; & is an able Pilot; who I am perswaded would readily accept of that Employment, & live wholly there, on the same terms Emery was to have done: which is humbly submitted.

Mr. Jennys continues to give us a great deal of trouble about his accounts; wherein he thinks (from what he writes) that he has not Justice done him. The minutes relating to his acet, of the 20th July last, weh you was pleased to send me in yours of the 29 Ditto, came to hand the 16th of November. We shall get M. Causton here to try if he can clear it up farther; but I much doubt it. In the mean while he wrote me a letter of the 31 past newly recd., which I think not amiss to send you the latter part of ex- tracted : yt. you may see what temper he wrote in. The modest behaviour, & Punctual care yt I have always found in M'. Hopton, (who yet lives with Mr. Jennys, tho' it's said they are likely soon to part) induced me to take it into consideration. wth. Mr. Jones; and to make him some acknowledgment for his Service during several years past ; as you find it in my Journal, of the 23ª past ; & I hope what we did will be ap- proved of: nevertheless, I am no wise fond of making discretionary payments, on any occa- sion where it can be well avoided: and there- fore I shall wish to have direction therein for the future, what annual recompence their Hon- ours think meet for such a Correspondent. whom I verily think a man of Fidelity, as well as great Exactness.

Stephens, who reply'd soon after that he had reced four Lres from you by Capt : Thomp- son, but not a Word relating to this Bill, which induced him to think The Trustees expects 'tis paid, & therefore desired me to use ye. proper means for recovery of it, whereupon I sent to Mr. Rutledge for his opinion how to proceed, which he sent me, & I sent Col.
