To the Honourable William Lenthall Esq Speaker of the House of COMMONS, these. Haste. Present.

Honourable Sir,

THe beaten Enemie flying out of Lancashire into these Parts, we (having put the County into a posture) fell upon them with what strength we could possible raise, have taken about 1500. some of which (considerable Persons) tendered themselves prisoners to me the night before, to wit, the Earl of Traquaire, Lord Carnagey, Lord Lunton, Lord Ramsey, Sir James Lesley Sir Michael Mismish, Lievtenant Colonell Graham and many of their Servants, besides many Gentlemen now at Namptwick, whose Persons and Habit declares them of Quality. The meaner sort (both men and women,) very Ragged and Poore; The burthen of which lies so heavily upon the poore Country (wanting bread;) that we cannot provide them of necessaries for life. Duke Hamilton, Sir Marmaduke Langdale, and [...] Middleton, past through this County with about 5000. few of them Foot, and the Horse tyred with an incessant March, upon whose Reare we gleaned many. We have taken a P [...]quet of Papers, which we have sent up to your view; Their March was into Shropshire, so to Stone in Staffordshire, yesternight to Ʋ [...]xitor, and (as we conceive by their motions) to the North. W [...] [...] not but you will take a speedy course for the dispos [...]ll [...] [...] mon-Souldiers to ease the Country. No more at pre [...] [...] I am,

Sir

Your Humble Servant, Roger VVitbraham, [...]

Namptwich, 22. August, 1648.

We intend in regard of the Obstruction [...] respit the sending of the Paquet of [...] the next Post.

[Page 2]

To Lievtenant Generall Cromwell.

Honourable Sir,

IN p [...]tuance of those, you so happily dispersed my, Lord Traquaire, and some of quality rendered themselves prisoners of their owne accord, others we tooke, yesternight twelve a clock Duke Hamilton sent a Trumpet (but without writing) to render himselfe and the whole Army upon conditions; This inclosed we returned him by two Gentlemen who are not yet returned, we shall pray your directions, which in this and other things shall be observed by.

21. August, 1648.

Your most humble servants

Roger VVilbraham.
James Lothian.

Sir,

We shall desire to heare where you are, and how you are, and wherein we may serve you, and in what condition Warrington is.

We have 1000. of the meanest condition of prisoners who have nothing to maintaine them, nor our Country by reason of the scarcity of Bread able to do it, we shal desire to know how to dispose of them.

A Copy of the inclosed.

My Lord,

THe Earle of Traquaire and other Lords, &c. Persons of quality, have voluntarily surrendered themselves to avoid the insolency of the Souldiers, and understanding by your Trumpeter of your dispofition to doe the like, we doe engage that you shall finde all noble and civill respects and entertainment. Lievtenant Generall Cromwell and the Counties adjacent are resolved upon a speedy pursuit; This we submit to your Honours consideration and remaine
