The
Coppy
of
a
Letter
sent
from
Generall
Leishley
to
the
Lord
Generall
the
Earle
of
Holland
,
and
read
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
the
7th
.
of
Iuly
,
1641.
My
Lord
,
I
Give
your
Lordship
hearty
thanks
that
you
have
been
pleased
to
acquaint
me
with
your
arrivall
at
Yorke
,
I
had
some
notice
given
me
before
by
our
Commissioners
of
his
Majesties
Commands
,
and
the
desire
of
the
Parliament
,
for
that
happy
and
peaceable
service
your
Lordship
is
now
about
.
I
am
glad
that
I
am
at
Darrington
by
accident
,
in
that
place
where
I
may
give
the
more
speed
and
incouragement
,
which
your
Lordship
desireth
and
expects
from
me
.
This
shall
be
done
with
all
possible
diligence
:
For
as
at
the
first
,
the
reason
of
sending
any
Troops
towards
the
Tees
,
was
for
inlargement
of
their
Quarter
,
and
the
great
ease
of
the
rest
of
the
Bishoprick
;
so
now
,
the
retyring
shal
be
to
take
away
al
jealousy
from
the
Army
of
our
aboade
in
this
part
of
the
County
:
For
although
the
streightning
of
our
Quarter
wil
be
both
prejudiciall
to
the
Countrey
and
us
,
yet
God
forbid
it
should
be
made
a
pretext
to
make
the
least
stay
to
the
good
worke
your
Lordship
hath
in
hand
;
and
the
further
we
remove
from
other
in
this
end
,
we
are
the
nearer
to
be
joyned
in
all
hearty
affection
for
the
service
of
the
King
:
Wherfore
so
sure
grounds
of
Hope
are
now
layd
,
that
all
his
Majesties
Three
Kingdomes
Enemies
will
have
as
much
cause
to
feare
the
ill
effects
of
our
Union
,
as
they
had
matter
of
rejoyceing
at
the
too
long
lasting
discord
between
us
:
And
it
may
be
so
in
all
ages
to
come
;
which
is
the
hearty
wish
and
Prayer
of
Your
Lordships
most
humble
Servant
,
H.
LEISHLEY
