Letter from Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer to Hugh Hamersley: He has done everything in his power to prevent the dissolution of the old Government hoping thereby to have been instrumental in bringing about a reconciliation

v5:825

JULY 30, 1775. — Little would be my pretensions to the friendship and regard I profess, were I to conceal the information given to the guardians, not from the Governour or his adherents, but officially here, "that you are at present one of the warmest Patriots in the Province; that General Lee (who is considered as in actual rebellion) was lodged, and lived with you in his late visit to Maryland; that you voted for the Delegates to the Congress, and went to Philadelphia to attend their motions." In the present critical situation of American, charters, I wish you would enable me to refute the charge.
