to Eusham and quatred there that night and having certain

with what I have and will raise more foote to advance our 
intended designe in the interim we intend to advaince what 
money we may to give further satisfaction to your Lord- 
ships souldiers but the difficulties will be much, for unlesse

us and there was no assistance to be expected from

serious condition the mutinus condition of these souldiers

both for money and armes to furnish our souldiers with we 
shall not continue in this place and then there is no possi- 
bility to advance a penny neither shall we be able to keepe 
the regiment of horse together, thus much I thought good 
to advise yr Lordship of being the true condition of our 
present affares so for the present we desist subscribeinge 
ourselves yr humble servants
