| Title | John Gell, Derby, to Captains. Swetnam, Watson, Batteley, Hardstoffe and Sleigh and Lt. Wetton - 'I am more beholden to Sir Thomas Fairfax than to you, for he acknowledges me to be your Colonel but this I impute to that vain, ungrateful fellow Swetnam rather than to the rest - I have already appointed Captain. Barton commander in Chief of my regiment, until my major comes, which is not Major Sanders for the Generalissimo of the Kingdom is pleased to send me another major - if you refused the money I borrowed to send to you, it is no fault of mine I hope the petitioners will be content with the new committee- I command you to march to Sir William Brereton from whom you will receive orders - Captain. Swetnam is to command in chief until he meets with Captain Barton'. |
