English Civil War Dispatches From Uxbridge to Derby
The report describes Parliament’s deliberations on Scottish troops southward and financial supports, with committees empowered to provision Portsmouth Garrison after Goring’s treachery fears. Intelligence from Leicestershire and Derbyshire mentions Sir Fairfax, Leicester forces, and Hastings thwarting Royalist plans, including arming, fortifications, and capture attempts, plus hay and horse transport actions and several skirmishes.
