Fragmented notes on English Civil War events and prisoners
A chaotic compilation reports confessing counterfeiting schemes and plans to raise forces, with references to the Earl of Orléans, the Cardin de Retz held prisoner, and Prince Rupert near the River Seine. It notes Spanish and Garrison movements around Pi cardc¢, Fortifications in Arras, and a Governor stabilizing Castles and towns. Correspondence from Edenburgh mentions Earl Seaforth’s raid on Capt. Breffies ship and the seizure of prisoners. A postscript promises reward for locating two branded horses and a Richard Farmer Potmter matter in Northampton, dated 23 June 1653.
