Fragmentary notes describe Sir Thomas Fairfax appointed commander in chief of an army of about 21,000 horse and foot. Officers listed include Colonel Aidleton, Sheffield, Sidney, Fleetwood, Permuien, Whally, and Ruch with Major General Skeppex. References to governance of towns and counties and mentions of Oxford and London situate the item in a parliamentary military reorganization during the early 1640s.
