A LETTER FROM Ma. Gen. OVERTON , Governour of Hull , And the Officers under his Command . Directed for the Honourable Leiut. General FLEETWOOD , To be communicad to the Council of Officers of the ARMY . Right honorable ,

THis day having brought to my Hands yours , with the enclosed Representation and Petition of several Officers of the Army , to which you desire the Subscription of the Officers of this Garrison ; I have accordingly convened and imparted your Letter and Paper to them ; Upon consideration whereof , finding our selves at this distance to be wholly ignorant of the late proceeds whereupon we suppose it to be grounded : as also for that it is already tendered to the Parliament , which we apprehend hath Resolved our Subscriptions out of season , We have thought it improper for us to subscribe the same . Neverthelesse , that we may not leave you without satisfaction as to our concurrence with you , in what may expresse our faithfulness to the Parliament , from whom we are Commissionated upon publick Account , and thereby bound in all due Obedience , We look upon our selves as obliged to Declare our full purpose of heart to manifest our stedfastnesse to the Parliament , according to the tenour of our respective Intrustments , in adhering to them in all their just and Warrantable proceedings , in pursuance of the Trust reposed in us ; whereby we hope , that nor only the Designs of all publick and private Adversaries will be disappointed ; but we shall further ( by Gods blessing ) expect to see some further fruit of our former Declarations for Truth and Righteousness .

This , as we doubt not but it will satisfie you of our firm and unfeighned intents to the Parliament in all their Just and Equitable determinations : So we trust the former Reasons , moving us to wave the Subscriptions of yours inclosed , will be of weight with you , to give us your excuse , and esteem us still as ,

Your very affectionate and humble Servants , Sic subscribitur Rt. Overton , Tho. Everard , Tho. Pigott , Rich. Cox , He. Boade , Tho. Somatsen Jo. Nary , John Durdoe , Wal . Thimelson , Will . Dawson . Will . Figes . Hull Octob. 11rh . 1659.
