Parliamentorum LONDON Printed for Iohn Wright at the Kings Head in the old Bayley 17 March 1645. For the Honourable William Lenthall Esquire Speaker of the Honourable House of Commons Being a Letter sent from Sir Thomas Fairfaxs Army now in Truro SIR I Wrote to you this day of the further progresse of the Treaty held all this day and till twelve at night and yet could not bee finished though all the materiall parts were over those which remaine are onely circumstantiall yet so necessary to be concluded in order to the perfecting of the Treaty that more time is granted for the finishing thereof so the Treaty and Cessation is to continue to morrow also and the Rendezvouz of this Army that should have beene to morrow is put off till the next day at which time the Enemy is likewise to draw out to a Rendezvouze and there according to the Articles or as shall be further agreed on dismount their common Troopers and deliver up their Horses and Arms The Enemy is so impatient till the Treaty be done that this very day there hath no lesse then between thirty and forty Lieutenant Colonels Majors and Captaines come away from the Enemy to us besides others that came to visit our Quarters that did not return This evening likewise there came a Captaine and forty Gentlemen of quality with their Horses and Arms who likewise by the Articles are to have the benefit of their Horses And likewise there came from Penryn 96. Common Souldiers with their Muskets and Matches lighted and twelve more since came and forty more gone another way which so much disheartned Colonell Trevanian the Governour of the Fort and Harbour at Penryn neer Pendennis that he sent unto the Generall late this evening to desire that he might be included within the Treaty with the Lord Hopton and have the same Conditions that other Officers have which are Passes to go home and Protections to live quietly from the violence of the Souldiers we conceive there will be all Officers and others of quality being allowed their Horses according to the Articles neer two thousand Horse that will come to be delivered up to the Generall for the use of the State and though they stand the State in two thousand pound Horses and Armes yet they will be worth to the State ten thousand pounds at the least but that is the least thing considerable in this great businesse The dissolving of such a strength by which meanes the West of England is cleered of a Field Enemy and Forraigne adversaries deprived of that assistance they did expect from this force whilst it was in so considerable a Body We doubt not but Pendennis will upon the disbanding of these Forces incline to moderate terms the Governour thereof is a Gentleman of good Fortune and Estate in the County and in all likelihood will not be so mad to see all the whole Gentry at liberty injoying their own and himself as it were in Prison injoying nothing that is his own I cannot expresse with what joy most of the Officers receive those Conditions and wish they had sooner known our intentions to wards them those which are most discontented at this businesse are the Troopers that were to be dismounted but many of them do during this Cessation use waies in an handsom manner to recompence themselves and ours too by exchanging good Horses for bad Horses gayning twenty shillings or thirty shillings in exchange from our Troopers they reserving the bad Horses to receive twenty shillings upon the delivering of them up unto us againe so we have many of the Horses already though not in manner according to the Treaty I had directions to prepare a Letter for the Committee of the Army to make stop of the providing of Horses for the Traine for that here will be sixe hundred to be spared for that purpose and the rest that are serviceable to be likewise disposed for Recruits in the Army I am Sir Truro March 11. 1645.
