Secretary Thurloe to General Monck

f. 201b.Vice-Admirall Goodson wrote to mee the last night, dating his lettre some leagues from the Scaw, that hee found soe much ice there that hee durst nott venture with the fleete into the Sound, that therfore itt was resolved there att a Councill of warre to returne back for the coast of England.1 However the sending of the fleete thus farre hath nott bin without effect, for itt hath had such influence uppon the Dutch that itt hath hindred them from sending their new supplies of 4000 foote and 12 shippes of warre.
