Clarke at Craughton neere Brackley in Northamptonshire SIR IN my way to Oxford I made some stay at Brackley to refresh my selfe and my Horses after a long march where I was unexpectedly assaulted by sundry Troops of rebels that came as I am since informed from Northampton and the adjoyning places and withall most treacherously set upon by the towne of Brackley so that I was forced to make a speedy retreate to the Heath to resist them had they had the courage to come forth of the towne In this confusion one of my Groomes who had charge of my baggage was surprized in the towne another who had a Box wherein was money apparrell and other things of valew left it in a land of standing Corne which since hath been found and as I heare brought to you I have therefore sent this Messenger to require the restitution of it which if you doe I shall represent it to His Majesty as an acceptable service if not assure your selfe I will finde a time to repay my selfe with advantage out of your estate And consider that as rebellion is a weed of a hasty growth so it will decay as suddenly and that there will be a time for the Kings loyall Subjects to repaire their losses sustained by rebels and traytors So I rest in expectation of a speedy answer by this bearer Oxford 2. Sep. 1642. Your friend and servant Iohn Biron FINIS
