Sir Thomas Fairfax's LETTER FROM CORNWALL Relating the whole businesse in the WEST WITH The ARTICLES at large concluded upon by his Excellencies Commissioners and Sir Ralph Hoptons And an Order of both Houses for a day of Thanksgiving for the same Die Lunae 23 March 1645. ORdered by the Lords Assembled in Parliament That this Letter with the Articles shall be forthwith printed and published J. Brown Cler. Parliamentorum LONDON Printed for John Wright at the Kings head in the Old-baily March 24. 1645. TO THE HONOVRABLE William Lenthall Esquire Speaker of the Honourable House of COMMONS SIRs WHilst I lay at Bodman for the necessary refreshment of the Army and to block up the passages from Bodman to the North and South Sea I sent a Summons with Propositions to Sir Ralph Hopton and the Army under his command A true Copy whereof I have here inclosed being encouraged thereunto by some of the enemies Officers and Souldiers who came in to me and informed of their inclineablenesse to conditions and hoping thereby either to bring them to such tearms as should be to your advantage or would distract and weaken them and withall understanding by the intercepted Letters I sent you that an Irish Infantry was ready to be shipt for England I thought fit to try all means which in probability might break their body of Cavalry upon the place when I had dispatched these Propositions to the enemy I advanced upon Monday with all the Army from Bodman towards Truro being then the enemies head-quarters and to Treney where I quartered that night Sir Ralph Hopton sent a Trumpeter to me with a Letter desiring to have Commissioners appointed on both sides to meet at Tresilian-bridge the next day with power to treat and conclude which I assented to The Treaty accordingly began the Commissioners meeting about four a clocke in the afternoon and I in the mean time advancing the quarters of the Army to Truro and St. Alan After some time spent between the Commissioners this agreement was made a copy whereof I have here also inclosed and in execution thereof this day we began to disband the French Brigade under Col. Lapland Tomorrow we proceed with three other Brigades they having nine in all and shall endeavour to shorten this work as much as may be Truly Sir this must needs be acknowledged for an admirabled mercy from the same gracious hand of providence that hath hitherto gone along with you that so considerable a force as this should be so baffled first at Torrington and afterwards should put themselves as it were into a Net whereby they were necessitated to take terms to the utter ruine of so great a body of Cavalry which according to all our information and the confession of our enemies was not lesse at the time of the Treaty then foure thousand five thousand horse The Articles of agreement will speak the mercy and needs no comment yet I hope I may make this observation upon them that thereby not only so great a body of Cavalry is broken but so many both officers and souldiers disobliged from taking armes against you and this at such a season when a forraine aid so ready as the Earle of Glamorgans Letters sent up formerly and now sent you speak at large the timely freeing of us for other services that remaine with discouragement put upon the enemies garrisons in these parts which we hope will cause them the more speedily to come in wee trust will be good consequences of this work It s the desire of us all the praise of all may be returned to God to whom it is only due The reputation of this hath already produced a surrender of St. Maws Castle wherein we found about 13 Guns and good proportion of Ammunition which place gives you a better interest in Falmouth harbour then the enemy hath for by the advantage hereof you may bring in shipping without hazzard which they cannot It hath also occasioned the comming in of between 300 and 400 foot of the enemies with their arms to me and given the Countries such heart against them That in Peryn a Town formerly not very well affected and in St. Ive they stand upon their guards against the enemy For further particulars concerning this businesse I refer you to M. Peters who since he came into this County where he was borne hath very much furthered the service in the bringing of the Country in so freely to the protection of the Parliament I remain Your most humble Servant Tho.
