TitleN[athaniel] B[arton], Westminster to Thomas Sanders Little Ireton - the common enemy is very busy some have been seized and some committed to the Tower - some are so bold as to attempt to corrupt some officers of the Army - the country hubbubs about Enfield Chase are still for the present - if the enemy attempts breaking forth, it will probably be within a few weeks if not a few days - it is no good dallying - yesterday I asked Lord Fleetwood to appoint me a time to wait upon him - he spoke very kindly to me and appointed Monday morning - I think I shall declare myself to him to prevent misunderstanding - I question whether I shall prevail to keep my troop in England - a letter from yourself to Lord Fleetwood might make my endeavours more successful - I know not yet where I am, having been for so long a stranger to affairs - I suppose that by now you have received orders in the counties to seize the horse and arms of suspected persons and to suppress meetings - it will be necessary to post away some Captains and officer into Scotland.
