"Lindsey, I thanke you for putting yourselfe into Woodstoke, it shewing that you seeke all occasions to shew that affection which I have alwaies knowne you to have to my service. But I do not judge that place fitt for you to stay in, others being good anufe for it, and you fitter for a better imployment. Wherefore I command you to returne to your waiting here, where you shall be welcome to your most assured constant friend, Charles R."
Postscript.-"The longer you stay you will the more displease two faire ladies." 19 Mar 1646

"Lindsey, there is no more reall testimony of true service than this kinde of disobedience, to which my answer is that if upon further tryall of the disposition of the officers and souldiers you finde that you may come to your waiting here without emminent hazard of loosing the place, then I shall immediately exspect you. Otherwise I leave you to do what you shall finde most necessary for my service. So I rest, your most assured constant friend, Charles R." 20 Mar 1646.
