CORRESPONDENCE OF GOVERNOR EDEN.

The following letters are reproduced from a MS. volume of Eden correspondence presented to the Maryland Historical Society by Richard D. Fisher, Esq. Interesting particulars relating to this valuable acquisition will be found infra, under " Correspondence."

ROBERT TO WILLIAM EDEN.

Extract of a Letter from Governor Eden to his Brother, dated Annapolis, 28t.h April 1775.

We are at this Time, as you will judge by the inclosed, in a State of thorough Confusion. I had set apart Wednesday, yesterday, and this Day (Friday) for writing fully on the Affairs of this Country, which I would not do sooner, from some well-grounded Hopes I had of seeing a total Change here, on what I remarked at our receiving the Intelligence of your preparing the Armament, against America; which, if it did not immediately cause an Alteration among the Sentiments, did in the Avowals of our staunchest Patriots, and gave me great Room to hope we should return into a Channel of regular Submission to the Laws
