Plymouth Defies the Enemy in Town Surrender Stand
Dispatch reports Lord Grey may return to command as Plymouth holds firm against the besieging forces. Letters describe royal promises of privileges if the town surrenders, while Roberts and Plymouth leaders refuse terms and vow to endure. The garrison, with 800 harfe and provisions, resists amid calls for money and arms and Parliament orders expedited aid to sustain defense.
