The Commissioners of the Army of Scotland to General Monck

May it please your Lordshipp,

lii. f. 25b.Wee have not received a letter from your Lordshipp this two posts, and are at a stand till wee heare from you how your Lordshipp and the officers with yow approve of the Agreement sent. The Lord Lambert gives us to understand that hee hath sent to your Lordshipp from Newcastle, Major Cambridge, Capt. Wallington, and Capt. Lloyde to know your minde concerneing it. Colonell Markham and Collonell Atkins have appeared before the Committee of Safety, and declare that they are assured the letter they presented to the Lord Mayor and Common Councill was your Lordshipp’s, and it is soe generally beleeved heere, and ill taken, being done in tymes of treaty. There came newse this day that the Lord Glencarne was President of the Assembly of the Scotche Gentlemen, and that your Lordshipp had put Dunnotter and Dumbarton Castles into the hands of the Scotts, which hath begotten greate jealousies heere that your Lordshipp hath a farther designe then is contained in your Declaration. Wee have endeavour’d to assure them of the contrary, well knowing your Lordshipp’s integrity and fidellity to the good interest of those Nations. Wee shall not trouble your Lordshipp further at this time, but remaine

Your Lordshipp’s most humble and faithfull
servants,

Timo: Wilkes.
