Parl. D. Com. London Printed for EDW. HUSBAND Printer to the Honorable House of Commons March 24. 1645. TO The Honourable William Lenthal Esq Speaker of the Honourable House of Commons Truly Honourable HAving received a command from the honourable Committee of both Kingdomes to take charge of a Brigade of horse and foot drawn out of the Garisons of Glocester Hereford Evesham to prevent the Lord Ashleys conjunction with the Kings forces at Oxford and to effect that designe I drew forth rendezvouzed seasonably betwixt Evesham and Warwick notwithstanding the Lord Ashley endeavoured by all wayes to get by me which much foiled my Brigade to prevent in marching from place to place to secure the Fords upon the river Avon yet after some considerations perceived that he was unwilling to passe over so long as I lay near the river resolved upon Thursday last to draw off and to quarter at Cambdin the most convenient place wheresoever he made his passage and that night had intelligence of his march from Droitwich near Worcester towards Bitford three miles from Evesham whereof I presently advertised Colonel Walley and Colonel Fleetwood and sent post to Sir William Brereton to desire the assistance of his Horse which was accordingly granted But upon Friday the Lord Ashley still continuing his march and Sir William Breretons horse not come up was forced to hold him in action for the space of four hours skirmishing with him by parties and keeping my Body drawn up in a most advantagious place for pursuit in case he should passe by me before Sir William Brereton came up which about nine a clock that night he did whereupon I resolved to pursue thinking it more advantagious to follow upon his rear then at that time to draw out to meet him in the field and in my pursuit Sir William Brereton came up with 800 horse of whom I desired to receive orders but he referred the whole command of the field to me then being equall in number to the Lord Ashleys forces consisting of 3000 I commanded 400 horse and 200 firelocks to charge home his Rear guard to put him to a stand before he should passe through Stow upon the Wold and as my intelligence informed me the King was to have joyned with him within seven miles of that place where he made choice of his ground and had the wind with him yet trusting in God I drew up and charged him home halfe an hour before day upon Saturday morning put him to a totall rout killed many Gentlemen and Officers of quality took prisoners the Lord Ashley and all his Foot officers whose names are in the inclosed List besides 1600 common Souldiers whereof many of them being wounded I gave them liberty to go to their own homes taking the oath of the 5 of April the rest are now sent to Glocester I took also 2000 armes and all their ammunition Sir William Brereton desired that the Lord Ashley might be his prisoner which I willingly condescended unto not doubting but he will give a good account of him to the Parliament This good successe the glory whereof I desire may be given unto God will prevent the King from drawing an army into the field which he expected and am now marched towards Worcester where I shall observe such orders as shall come from the honourable house of Parliament or the Committee of both Kingdomes and in the mean time shall endeavour to make use of all opportunities to weaken the Enemy and to advance the publick service The honourable House was pleased to promise a summe of money to this Brigade which I hope you will be pleased to hasten down that thereby Free Quarters may be prevented and I enabled to prevent the disorders of the Souldiers in the countrey which shall alwayes be the desire of him who will ever subscribe himself to be Sir your Honors most faithfull and humble Servant THO.
