Anno Domini . 1641. The Coppy of a Letter sent from the Earle of Holland , to an honourable Lord , at the Parliament . MY LORD , IN the discharge of my care and duty to the Parliament , I can onely say this , That having receiued their Orders for present disbanding of the Army , beginning with the Horse , I have given order , that the Regiments of my Lord of Carnarvan , Master Wilmot , and Sir Tho. Lucas , together with Master Percies Troope shall as farre as for the present I can doe , be prepared to be forthwith disbanded ; and so the rest to follow . Having given directions , that the accounts of these Regiments may be in readinesse for those Gentlemen that are appointed to take care of the Counties satisfaction , both in the debts of the Officers , and likewise for the billiting of the common Souldiers ; which I have howsoever put in a way by the casuall meeting of Sir Tho. Hansby at Doncaster , where some of our Horse-troopes are quartered , which I drew together to attend his Majesty into the Towne ; which occasioned some discourse betwixt us , That as yet I had not received the names of those Gentlemen , neither had any of them bin with me , that are appointed to assist in these accounts between the Army and the County : whereupon he shewed me a Letter written unto him and some others , for the West riding of the Knights of the Shire to that purpose ; but told me as yet they had not met to agree of any thing about it , but that within one day or two they should doe it . My advice unto him then was , out of my desire to obey ( as speedily as possibly I might ) the orders of the Parliament , that they would loose no time in it ; and by a joynt letter informed me , of their orders for this service ; that so I might for that Division ( a place being named ) appoint the Officers to ajust their accounts with them : and likewise that those Gentlemen for the other Divisions may doe the like . Who I suppose ( the Assizes and comming of the Iudges to this Towne being upon Monday next ) may have deferred the giving me the Account of this their imployment untill this time , I pray God , by the private intelligence that comes amongst us , there be not a generall Assizes and judgement appointed for this Kingdome in these great troubles , which are such as cannot be prevented or averted , but by the advised counsels that are expected from our great and highest Councell the Parliament ; who may be both assured , and secured of all readinesse in our obedience to those orders I have received from them , being ful of that respect & duty that becomes me towards their Lordships ; My Lord J am most faithfull . We heare that the Generall of the Scotch Army , will shew unto his Majesty their Army as he passeth by Newcastle ; the which some say hath beene recrewted of late . If it hath beene so , I conceive it onely to make it appeare in a better posture before his Majesty ; since now there can be no other end for it , this Parliament being assured of their sudden marching away out of this Kingdome . And likewise I conceiue of their speedy disbanding in Scotland , which will both ease their Charge and the hearts of many in these parts , that otherwise will continue in their feares ; How reasonable I know not . Yorke 13. Aug. 1641. Your Lordships most humble and faithfull servant , Holland .
