Description
'I have heard nothing from you since I saw you - Mr Scot yesterday asked me to enquire of you about one Dr Lester who is come lately into the country and has belonged to Lord Stanhope - some persons about Bretby might be procured to inform where he is - we are under strong alarms still and double guards are kept - many arms are bought up in the city - one Mordant*, brother of the Earl of Peterborough is, by order of Parliament, to render himself by 17 August or his person will be proscribed and his estate confiscated - Parliament has this week delivered many commissions, both of London Militia and officers of the army - yesterday there was an address from the English regiments at Dunkirk and Maudik and it was ordered they be established - Lord Bradshaw sits daily with the Council of State - the reports of risings in Lancashire and Bristol came to nothing - one Courtday was committed to the Sergeant at Arms for mutinous words - I heard that some of the Council intend to command you and I to attend the service in Derbyshire and Staffordshire - I hope the commission will act thoroughly for it is not a time to dally and I hope the Godly ministers and others about you are not wanting in managing our spiritual militia - a letter has been received from the Swedish king and Parliament desiring aid - I desire you to hasten away the officers of your regiment for Scotland - my maid is sick of smallpox and I have thought it convenient to move - I am now at Mrs Grimsel's the sign of the Sugar Loaf, King Street, near St Margaret's church
