Lincoln.
24. Wm. Harvey to Dan. Cox, Haberdashers' Hall. In the absence of the rest of the committee, I have received and sent off your warrants; but there were several mistakes specified in the names, and 2 do not live-in this county. [2/3 page.]
Sept. 30.
James's House.
25. Col. John Barkstead to the Committee for Advance of Money. There is a great mistake in the entry of the Parliament Order for Col. Devereux and myself, it only giving us 1/5 [of our discoveries], whereas the Parliament Order is for full payment of our arrears therefrom. We must be satisfied in this before we proceed, for if this be not granted, our order is of no value. I would have waived my own part, but the House having fastened my arrears on my discoveries, forbids me to take any other security. Had I been an enemy, and had no arrears due, I could not have had less than 1/5. I do not doubt your justice, but wish to avoid mistakes. [1 page.]
