Title: FRANCIS, EARL OF RUTLAND, to LORD WILLOUGHBY, at Grimsthorp.
Description:

--By your Lordship's of July 25 I well perceive your care for the charge touching the musters and training. You do rightly observe that the time cannot, without great prejudice to the country, be before the beginning of October, and beyond that time it cannot be delayed, in respect of the limitations prescribed by their Lordships.

 

Having to go out of the country, I cannot give you a meeting as I would, but must refer the whole to your Lordship and the rest of the deputies, praying you to direct your warrants for summoning the country at the time you think most meet, and to give directions that the captains do exercise and prepare their several bands, that at their coming together they may be found the more ready and apt. The warrants for collection of the money for supply of defects are long since sent forth, and the time fixed for delivery of arms is near at hand.

 

For the notes touching the charge of horses at the last musters &c., delivered to my late Lord and brother, you will find them in a book enclosed in my cousin Pelham's letter. At our next meeting we must make choice of such as are yet living and of worth. Signed. Seal of arms.
