| Title | Randle Ashenhurst, John Mundy, Rowland More- wood, Edward Charlton, Ralph Clarke and Robert Eyre, Derby, to the Committee of Both Kingdoms - 'Major Sanders, who has raised one of the best regiments of horse in these parts and done singular service with them, is now confined by Sir John Gell, whereby the service is like to be neglected and the regiment dissolved - it appears that it was agreed between Gell and Sanders that the major should appoint his own officers and the commission was granted with the power - new Gell informs my Lord General that the major will not obey him, whereupon my Lord has remanded the commission and sent another which dissolves the Captain's commissions which the major has not accepted - we desire you to hasten the enlargement of the major unless there be just cause to the contrary'. 8 Feb 1644/5 |
