A
LETTER
From
a
person
of
quality
in
Edenburgh
to
an
Officer
of
the
Army
,
wherein
is
given
a
true
accompt
of
Generall
Moncks
proceedings
,
Dated
the
25th
.
of
October
,
1659.
Dear
Friend
,
THough
I
have
not
been
wanting
(
by
using
various
wayes
and
means
)
to
impart
to
you
the
state
of
affairs
here
,
yet
lest
there
should
be
a
miscarriage
in
all
or
any
of
them
;
I
thought
it
a
duty
incumbent
upon
me
in
this
our
day
,
to
dispatch
a
sure
Messenger
to
Newcastle
,
where
I
trust
he
may
meet
with
you
,
to
give
you
a
full
account
of
things
as
they
stand
here
,
who
is
able
to
make
you
an
ample
relation
,
and
to
whom
I
desire
you
would
give
credit
in
what
he
shall
impart
to
you
;
And
lest
he
should
omit
any
thing
of
moment
,
I
shall
as
briefly
as
I
can
hint
it
to
you
in
these
following
lines
.
Upon
Tuesday
last
the
18th
.
instant
,
the
Generall
had
notice
that
the
Parliament
was
dissolved
.
Whereupon
he
called
Col.
Wilkes
,
and
Capt.
Miller
,
Morgan
,
Hubblethorn
,
Jerem.
Smith
,
Grimble
,
and
Lt.
Col.
Clobery
(
who
had
been
with
him
2.
or
3.
dayes
before
)
to
consult
what
to
do
;
And
it
was
resolved
,
that
he
with
the
Army
under
his
command
should
declare
for
the
Parliament
against
the
proceedings
of
the
Army
in
England
,
and
for
the
better
effecting
thereof
,
agreed
to
turn
out
all
as
should
oppose
the
design
.
The
next
day
he
came
to
Edenburgh
,
where
he
had
appointed
his
own
Regiment
,
and
Col.
Talbots
to
be
in
Armes
.
The
latter
had
orders
to
have
lighted
matches
,
powder
and
bullet
,
but
his
own
had
not
.
When
he
came
to
them
,
he
declared
to
them
,
that
a
factious
party
of
the
Army
in
England
had
interrupted
the
Parliament
,
and
that
he
resolved
with
the
Army
under
his
Command
to
stand
to
the
Parliament
in
opposition
to
them
,
and
expected
that
they
would
stand
by
him
accordingly
;
Declaring
that
he
would
satisfie
them
all
their
Arrears
,
at
which
they
were
made
to
shout
,
and
gave
him
three
volleyes
of
shot
.
Which
being
done
,
he
caused
Captain
Parker
,
Hatchman
,
Sto●…
,
Lievtenant
Carter
,
Wells
,
Wilson
,
Lindon
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Anabaptist
Officers
(
except
Grom
,
and
Walton
)
to
be
secured
.
Then
comming
to
Leith
(
the
Regiment
of
Col.
Wilkes
being
drawn
up
)
He
declared
the
same
things
to
them
,
and
past
from
them
with
the
like
ceremonies
,
and
Col.
Wilkes
for
a
farewell
gave
him
15.
or
17
great
Guns
from
the
Citadel
.
Of
whose
Regiment
,
the
General
caused
to
be
secured
,
Major
Knoles
,
Lt.
Burrell
,
Lt.
Hughes
,
Ensign
Wilkes
,
and
Ensign
Wood
.
Having
thus
secured
these
three
Regiments
,
and
placed
other
Officers
in
the
roomes
of
those
whom
he
had
turned
out
,
He
dispatched
Letters
to
Lt.
Col.
Young
,
of
Col
Cobbets
Regiment
,
and
Lt.
Col.
Keyn
,
and
Major
Kelke
of
Pearsons
Regiments
,
to
come
over
and
consult
with
him
,
about
some
weighty
affairs
:
and
when
they
came
,
he
clapt
up
Lt.
Col.
Young
,
and
Major
Kelke
,
and
at
the
same
time
received
advertisement
from
Col.
Read
,
that
he
and
his
Regiment
was
at
his
service
,
as
likewise
the
same
from
Col.
Fairfax
.
Upon
the
21th
.
instant
,
he
marched
with
some
troops
of
Horse
and
some
companies
of
Foot
to
Lithgowe
,
in
order
(
as
it
was
thought
)
to
have
gon
to
Ayre
,
but
receiving
intelligence
there
,
that
Lt.
Col.
Homes
was
got
thither
,
did
not
proceed
for
fear
he
should
meet
with
a
repulse
,
which
in
the
beginning
of
this
enterprize
would
have
been
of
ill
consequence
to
his
affairs
.
So
that
upon
the
22th
.
he
retreated
to
Edenburgh
again
with
his
forces
,
where
he
created
new
Officers
by
Commission
under
his
own
hand
and
seal
,
viz.
Cloberry
he
made
Collonel
of
Cobbets
Regiment
,
Hatt
Lt.
Col.
and
Dennis
Major
.
To
his
own
Regiment
he
hath
made
Morgan
Lt.
Col.
Nicolls
Major
,
and
Winter
Captain
of
Homes
his
Company
.
Collins
of
Wilkes
Regiment
,
hath
Hatchmans
Company
.
Bishop
the
Farrier
is
a
Lt.
Sherman
(
one
of
our
cashiered
waiters
)
is
made
an
Ensign
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
vacant
places
supplied
by
some
such
men
.
Hublethorn
is
made
Lt.
Col.
and
Emerson
Major
of
Talbots
Regiment
.
All
the
forces
here
abouts
being
by
this
means
at
his
devotion
,
He
being
assured
of
the
rest
in
all
other
parts
but
Ayre
,
He
resolves
to
draw
all
to
a
randevouz
in
and
about
Edenburgh
against
the
last
of
this
Moneth
at
furthest
,
except
such
as
must
be
left
in
the
Garrisons
,
(
which
he
intends
shall
be
but
few
)
and
expects
to
make
5000.
Foot
,
and
800.
Horse
,
with
which
he
intends
(
as
it
is
said
)
immed●ately
to
march
for
England
.
Witter
commands
in
the
Citadel
of
Johnstons
,
and
Keyn
is
this
day
gone
over
to
fetch
hither
the
rest
of
that
Regiment
,
Fairfaxes
,
Cobets
,
and
Reads
,
are
already
on
their
march
hitherwards
.
This
day
Capt.
Groom
told
me
that
both
he
and
Walton
would
throw
up
their
Commissions
,
as
many
that
are
inferiour
Officers
and
private
Souldiers
(
who
had
the
face
of
honesty
)
have
already
done
.
The
General
hath
wrote
3.
Letters
:
one
to
the
Speaker
,
another
to
the
Lord
Fleetwood
,
and
a
third
to
the
Lord
Lambert
;
which
he
hath
put
in
print
and
are
herewith
sent
.
He
hath
also
put
forth
a
Declaration
,
which
you
shall
receive
from
the
bearer
,
signed
by
Clerk
in
behalf
of
the
rest
.
When
none
was
at
the
contriving
of
it
but
himself
,
Wilks
,
Morgan
,
Emerson
,
Smith
and
Grimble
.
There
is
likewise
a
Letter
he
hath
written
to
the
Churches
(
drawn
by
Mr.
Collins
)
stuffe
,
with
much
of
Booths
Language
,
but
I
doubt
I
shall
not
get
it
for
you
,
before
the
bearer
goes
away
.
All
these
printed
papers
he
is
dispatching
away
in
whole
bundles
to
Hull
by
the
Pearl
Frigot
,
whereof
Capt.
Nixon
is
Commander
,
who
sailes
too
morrow
if
wind
and
weather
serve
.
Homes
came
very
safe
to
Ayre
,
though
a
party
of
Horse
was
at
his
heeles
.
That
place
he
and
Col.
Sawry
with
all
the
Officers
resolve
to
keep
,
till
they
receive
orders
from
the
Councill
of
Officers
above
,
(
as
I
was
assured
by
Letters
from
themselves
to
me
the
last
night
.
)
The
General
threatens
that
he
will
quarter
some
Horse
about
that
Garrison
,
and
will
not
let
them
have
a
penny
of
mony
.
Major
Kelke
desires
that
some
of
them
will
acquaint
his
Wife
that
he
is
in
health
,
and
that
his
Son
is
this
day
arrived
safe
from
London
,
which
I
intreat
you
will
signifie
to
her
accordingly
.
I
had
almost
forgot
to
tell
you
that
the
General
hath
secured
Barwick
,
Lt.
Col.
Mears
having
received
in
there
,
two
of
his
foot
companies
and
one
of
horse
.
And
as
Col.
Cobbet
,
and
Mr.
Brown
past
by
there
,
they
were
detained
Prisoners
till
the
General
sent
a
party
of
horse
for
them
.
This
night
they
are
both
come
with
a
guard
to
Edenburgh
,
(
where
I
heard
from
one
that
read
their
Mittimus
)
they
were
presently
to
be
committed
to
the
Castle
.
Thus
much
I
thought
good
to
communicate
to
you
,
desiring
that
the
Lord
would
direct
you
to
make
such
use
of
it
,
as
may
be
for
his
own
glory
,
and
his
poor
peoples
peace
.
Farewell
