ixxvi Introduction.

In the Appendix will be found printed seven letters to Sharpe from General
Amherst and General Sinclair not previously printed. The two from St. Clair
deal entirely with military matters. The five letters from Amherst, written
during the years 1759, 1760, and 1761, all relate to the obdurate attitude of
the Lower House towards the passage of a suitable Supply bill, and include
frequent assurances from Amherst that he realizes that Sharpe was doing
all in his power to secure the passage of a satisfactory bill (pp. 529-532).
