of Annapolis, there are about forty families, and I am happy to inform you that the fatal vice of Intemperance does not prevail to such an extent among them as formerly. Could any thing be done by way of Education, they might yet become a useful class of men.

Jack Globe says he can, at an appointed time, during next month, collect the greater part at the Annapolis Gut.

I am, Honourable Sir
Your obliged very humble Sert.
