A LETTER FROM His Excellency Sir THO: FAIRFAX , TO The Honorable William Lenthal Esq Speaker of the Honorable House of Commons . SIR ,

I Received your Letter , and another inclosed from the Commissioners of Scotland , expressing their sence of injuries offered to them by some of this Army ; first to my Lord Lauderdail , in denying him access to the King , and next to Mr. Chiesly , in detaining him at Newcastle in his passage to Scotland ; To both which I thought fit to return this Answer , That no man is more unwilling to suffer any thing to be done by any under my command , that may be Dis-satisfaction to that Nation , then my self ; nor shall any be more willing to do all things which tend to keep a right Understanding , and to preserve the happy Union between the two Kingdoms , then I : But I hope the rudeness of Soldiers disavowed , will not be made of National reflection , which is all in the case of the Earl of Lauderdail : And as to that of Mr. Chiesly , I have sent to the Governor of Newcastle to give him a free passage into Scotland , which , I hope , is done already ; for hearing of it formerly , I sent to him to that purpose ; And shall in all things be ready to observe your Commands , and rest ,

Your most humble Servant , T. FAIRFAX . Kingston , 20 August , 1647.
Die Sabbathi , 21 Augusti , 1647.

ORdered by the Commons assembled in Parliament , That Sir Henry Vane , Sir Gilbert Gerrard , Sir Robert Pye , and Sir Arthur Haslerig , do communicate this Letter to the Commissioners of Scotland , and acquaint them from this House with their Desire and Resolutions of doing all things that may preserve the Union and good Correspondency between the Two Kingdoms .
