Worthy Sir,

I Was in presence when the News came to my Lord Generall concerning the fight at Winchester; And therefore thought good to give you the same Intelligence of it that was delivered to him

There sallyed out two Regiments of Foot, which were of the Kings life Guard upon us, which were all, or the most part of them cut off; Besides the Foot forces, there also sallyed out a Brigade of Horse, but they also finding they were not able to withstand us, retreated into the Castle, then we scaled the Walles, they desired quarter, which we gave them, only detaining their Commanders, and Officers, whose Names are here underwritten; And for the rest of their Forces we stripped and sent them away. The Inhabitants of the Town of Winchester offers 2000 l. to save themselves from being pillaged by our Regiment.
