this Account: That the Foot being upon their March,

your Lordship's Commands. I have, as it appeared
to me and my Council of War (upon good Reason),
removed the Quarters of the Army into those Parts:
But, if it shall please the Parliament to command the
Army to any other Quarters, it shall most readily be
observed, by
Your Lordship's
Most humble Servant,
"T. Fairfax."
