Sir Arthur Hesilrige to General Monck2

Sir,

lii. f. 73.Understanding from Colonell Alured that there are some reports that there should be forces sent for to come to towne that you know not of, and also officers sent into severall parts to gather forces, and that Major Strangwayes was one, who was this evening att the Counsell to receive the comissions for the regiment, and I thinke hee intends to goe out of towne to morrow. Indeed, Sir, it exceedingly troubles mee to heare such reports should be raised that are soe notoriously false. Beleive mee, there was not the least colour for this, or any part of it, and I assure yow I had rather dye then breake my word. I beseech yow, forgett not what I have said to you: I shall never faile yow in your standing for a Commonwealth.

Sir, it is also reported that I should have conference with Lambert and Sir Henry Vane. The first I never spoke with since his returne from Booth’s defeate, nor with Sir Henry Vane since his being turned out of the Howse, neither have I had, or will be perswaded to have any discourse with them, or either of them, or any for them. Neither will I be in any designe or plott whatsoever, for what I doe shall be above board. I intreat yow to acquaint your officers, if I be named at any time, with what I here affirme, and answere for mee—yow shall have noe shame by it. It is very late,

I am,
Sir,
Your most faithfull and reall servant,

Arth. Hesilrige.

This 12th February,
1659.
