Sent by a Gentleman of Credit under Sir William Brereton to some Members of the Honorable House of COMMONS and by them desi red to be published LONDON Printed for Tho Vnderhill at the Bible in Woodstreet 1646. Honoured Gentlemen ACcording to my engagements I shall give you an account of the proceedings of our Forces in reference to our great victory at Stowe Sir William Brereton marched with 1000. Horse from Leychsield on Tuesday March 17. 1645. to Colshill and quartered there two nights waiting for intelligence from Collorell Morgan and had notice that he was come as f●r as Stratford upon Avon and on Tuesday March 19. in the morning Sir William marched from Collhell through Warwicke Towne towards Stratford his Rendevouz was within a mile of Warwicke that after noone Sir William had intelligence that Col. Morgan was returned backe as farre as Camden because that his intelligence was that the Lord Ashley had a bridge carried with him and was ready to go over the River to joyn with the Kings Horse from Oxford presently after which Sir William had intelligence that Ashley was Retreated backe towards Worster and bended his march towards Leychsield whereupon Sir William marched back againe towards Bermingham to get betweene him and Litchsield and tooke up his quarters 4. miles from Stratford at the Lady Smiths house about eleven of the Clocke at night Intelligence came to him that Ashleys quarters were within 3. miles whereupon not knowing whether his intentions were for Litchsield or Oxford we rose and marched away at one of the clocke after midnight and came to a Towne called Knoll towards Bermingham Fryday morning March 20 we had Intelligence that Ashley had laid his Bridge and was passing over the River wherupon we had several messengers ●●om Collonel Morgan that he would face them on Camden Hils whilest Sir William marched up and notwithstanding that we had marched all the night before yet we marched back again to Stratford and came thither about the going down of the Sun and presently received Posts from Coll. Morgan that the Enemy were within 3. miles of him and that their Forlorn Hopes were engaged and if Sir William made not hast they would be gone for he himself should be too weak to engage all their Forces Whereupon Sir William gave a strict command that none should stay in Stratford but all march away presently notwithstanding the constant marches before The Bridge at Stratford being pulled down we could passe over but one at a time yet we made all the haste that possibly we could and came to Camden hills by 12. 2 Clock that night Collonel Morgan with his party were advanced by 11. and still sent post to Sir William to follow and he would do what possibly he could to engage Ashley to stay Sir William not delaying any time but marched as fast as possibly might be desiring him by constant posts to engage the Enemy if possibly he could whilst he came up which he promised to do with all speed And between one and two on Saterday morning after we had marched backward and forward 30. miles since Friday morning we overtook Col Morgan and then being joyn d we marched about a mile and by that time the Scouts brought word that the Enemy were drawn up into a Body neer Stow in the Ould at which all our souldiers rejoyced being desirous to engage Then we marched the whole Army in Batalia and after we discovered them standing in Batalia we faced them an houre before we fought both sides waiting for day light Sir William and Collonel Morgan did agree without any difference in the drawing up of the Army which was ordered as follows Sir William Brereton led the Right Wing of Horse which were those that came with him from Litchsield And the Gloucestershire men we placed in the left Wing Collonell Morgan himself very gallantly led the Van Upon the first Charge the Enemy forced the left Wing to a disorderly Retreat by over-powring of them so that to them it seemed something doubtfull But Sir Will Brereton with our Right Wing of Horse charged their left both of Horse and Foot and totally Routed them pursuing them into Stow killing and wounding many in the town and the meane while our Left wing Rallied our word was God be our Guide The Enemies word was Patrick and George A List of the Prisoners I have here inclosed Thus have I given you an Account of the good hand of God with us to whom belongs all the glory I rest Your humble Servant R.
