Catalogue description ENSIGN WILLIAM CROMWELL to ROBERT, LORD WILLOUGHBY, "Colonel General of the English forces" [in Denmark].

--Being left by his Lordship in charge of his company, he notifies to him that Col. Longe, having sent to inquire concerning the state of the companies, is angry that his Lordship's company should have eight score able men, yet only three score armed and fit for service if occasion should arise. Had acquainted the Colonel, before the musters, that his Lordship had sent the arms to Elsinoor, to be "made fix" and then returned.

The Burgomaster and his burgers "make a wonder of it" that the garrison should be left so ill-furnished of officers as to have neither captain nor lieutenant, in the absence of the Serjeant-major and Captain Perkins, save only Captain Gosnold, who is very sick. The soldiers cry out exceedingly for hose and shoes.
