Sir James Stewart to General Monck2

May it pleis your Lordship,

Be my former I hoped to haif given your Lordship satisfactioun as to the wnwarrantablenes of that informatioun of my receiving a lettre from my Lord Lambert be Major Cambridge;3 bot finding by the report of the commissioners of this towne, who wer with your Lordship, that thair remaines some dout and wnsatisfactioun with your Lordship as to that particular, I conceive my self obleiged in deutie, both as to your Lordship’s satisfactioun and cleiring of my awin innocencie, again to assure your Lordship that I never resavit any lettre from the Lord Lambert, nor ever so much as spoke with Major Cambridge, and if your Lordship may be pleised to be at the paines to tak some tryall in it, I sould esteim it as the hichest favour. I can be capble of being confident that the issue wilbe the cleiring of the treuth and a just vindicatioun of the integritie of him who is,

My Lord,
Your Lordships most faithfull and humble servant,

Ja. Stewart.
