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
2000l
.
to
save
themselves
from
being
pillaged
by
our
Regiment
.
And
thus
I
rest
your
Servant
to
command
John
Sterly
