Title	John Gell to Major Sanders - 'I have received a letter from Nottinghamshire and one from you with a copy of a pretended order - I think it is only Thornhaugh's procurement as he has his whole estate by the place besieged - before we stir we should receive orders from those we are under - our soldiers expect money and if they have none, I cannot expect further service from them - being strange in the business, I desire to confer with the Captains and officers that should go upon the service, before I order them upon service - it concerns their lives - I am very tender of those brave and valiant friends that have been so faithful in our service - you should have sent us all your opinions of the design - I think it hard to leave off getting money for our soldiers - I conceive the design to be worst for us - if once routed beyond Trent, it may prove the loss of our country', with copy.
