Papers of Robert Bennet [manuscript], 1603-1678 (bulk 1642-1663).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83392067

Primarily consists of Bennet's official papers, reflecting the shifting fortunes of the Parliamentarians and Royalists. Many of the official papers concern or are from both houses of Parliament, and the Council of State. Among the personal papers are several concerning law-suits and other business matters, a few deeds, Hannibal Vyvyan's directions to Colonel Bennet when he was sick in 1649 (155), and letters to and from fellow Anabaptists at Looe, 1656. A few miscellaneous documents seem to have no direct bearing on Colonel Bennet; two report on speeches of Cromwell, [1657-58], (207-208), one more fully than any copy hitherto known. Other significant individuals represented in the collection include but are not limited to: William Bennet (Robert's brother), John Bradshaw, John Desborough, Thomas Fairfax, Baron Fairfax, Anthony Rous, John Wait and Sir Hardress Waller.
