General Moncks Last LETTER to His EXCELLENCY THE Lord Fleetwood . My Lord , AFter I had Answered the Letter , your Lordship did me the favour to send me by Col. Talbot , I received another from your Lordship , of the 29th of October , wherein your Lordship is pleased to express much of your Lordships Affection and Friendship to me , for which I shall ever acknowledge my self engaged to you ; but truly I must assure your Lordship , no personal Discouragements ( although I have had my share of them ) have induced me to the Iustification I make of the Parliaments Authority , but the tie of duty to which I am in my Conscience obliged , and I shall be heartily sorry , if your Lordship makes any other Interpretation of it , for your Lordship knows my Command has been offered often up to those that had power to place it better : We are all I bless the Lord , very unanimous here , and I am confident when the Gentlemen we send from hence have given your Lordship a true understanding of our Actions , you will not have so severe an opinion of them , as you seem to have in your late Letters : The persons names are , Col. Wilkes , Lieut. Col. Clobery , and Major Knight , all well known to your Lordship , to whom I beseech your Lordship to give Credit , in what they shall propose from the Army here , and I beseech you to believe , I am still with a sincere heart , Edinb.

We have prevailed with my Lord General , to dispatch Order this night to his remotest Quarters , that they advance not further South-wards during this Treaty , and we desire you will do the like , that none of yours may March more Northward then they are ; and truly for as much as we can perceive , none of these Forces had so hastily marched out of Scotland , if yours had not gathered this way . In a few dayes we shall see you , and in the mean time desire you to believe we are , Dalkeish this 4th . of Novemb. 1659. SIR , Your affectionate : SERVANTS , Thomas Clarges . Thomas Talbot .

Your Forces in these partes are now , blessed be God , in good condition , and well resolved ; Colonel Lilburn , I know hath acquainted you with General Monck's Letter , about his sending up Wilkes , Clobery , & Knight , for an Accommodation : Northumberland fails him , and his Souldiers ( as all our intelligence faith ) fails him , and it s no wonder if their hearts fail them , when they are carryed forth by no better principles , then the Iustice of such a cause will afford , I am perswaded your Excelency knows , what manner of person you have to deal with , and I doubt not but the intercepted Letters sent you from Northallerton , will direct your thought to look West , as well as North ; If those Gentlemen that are coming to you , insist upon the bringing in again of those Gentlemen to Westmin●●●● , your friends hear both of the Army and Country ; think it will be little better then to insist upon the bringing in of — — but we cannot doubt in the least , but that God will guide you only to such a condescension as may secure the Cause and add somewhat to the comfortable being of your friends , who have suffered for their adherence to you in this great day of Tryal : I shall continue hear until I see some probability of being more serviceable in another place ; That the Lord may direct your wayes , and strengthen you for his work , is the prayer of , Newcastle , Nov. 5. 1659.
