A PERFECT COPPIE OF Sir Richard Diots Letter to Captain Stone out of Litchfield Close , for the surrendring of the said Garrison , together with all the Ordnance , Arms , and Ammunition . SIR , AFter I had acquainted the Governour with what you were pleased to tell me , concerning my Son , I made a Report to Him , and to divers Noble Gentlemen of this Garrison , of other more important Matters propounded by your selfe , and Lieutenant-Colonell Gerrard the other day at our meeting : And now I shall acquaint you with the result of their conference upon the Report . I finde , that though we be in a gallant condition , yet we are so tenderly affected to our deare Countrey , and so very sensible of their sufferings , in respect of their great and long charge , and or their danger in respect of the spreading Infection , much occasioned ( as we conceive ) by the continuance of the siege . As also , so unwilling that there should be any impediment in England , to retard in the least degree any expedition against the Rebels in Ireland ; to the suppression of whom , we are resolved to contribute to the utmost of our powers , that you shall finde in us no obstinacy ( as some are pleased to call our constant Loyalty ) but hearts studious of publike peace and tranquility ; and for that end inclinable to comply with you in any faire propositions , which are consistent with Loyaltie , Honour and Conscience ; Wherein to acquit our selves as good Subjects , and good Patriots ; it is propounded as an expedient , that there should be a meeting of twelve Staffordshire Gentlemen , six of this side , and sixe of yours ( or what other number you please ) to confer together and to prepare the businesse . The Gentlemen nominated for this Garison , are the Lord Aston , Sir Tho. Leigh , Colonel Snead , Col. Skrimshire , Captain Glasier , and my self : if you like this motion , we desire you to send the names of the like number of Gentlemen for you : Of which number wee earnestly desire , that it would please your Generall Sir William Brereton to be one , who hath no small interest in this County : Sir , I have no more at this time to say , but what you shall ever find that I am Your respective Friend , Richard Dyot . July 1. 1646. For my worthy and much esteemed Friend , Captain Henry Stone . The Answer of Captain Stones to Sir Richard Dyots Letter , for the surrender of Litchfield Close . SIR , I Have received yours , which J have imparted to Adjutant-Generall Louthian , who is content to admit of a meeting with the gentlemen you propose , although I must tel you there is not one man ( to my knowledge ) in all our quarters sick of the plague , neither is our lying so burdensome to the Country , but they can in a more gallant manner without much charge to any perticuler persons , provide for us here , then your gallant condition can provide for you . And yet wee so farre tender our Counteries good , as not to oppose a faire accommodation , which may stand with the honour of those , by whom we are intrusted and will be tender of sheding one drop of blood if not provoked . The names of those who are to meete are Mr. Manwayring our high Sheriffe , Col. Stepkins Lievtenant Col. Gerhard , Maior Cambridge , Capt. Slade , and my selfe , and the place of meeting ( if you please ) to be at Elmehurst at Mr. Bidhel phs it being the nearest convenient house , for the sicknesse in the Towne is dangerous . If you approve of the persons and place , appoint your time and you shall have a safe conduct for your selves , and servants , J have no more at present but subscribe my selfe July the 1. 1646. Your Servant Henry Stone . For the right worshipfull , Sir Richard Dyot Knight . If your Commissioners come forth , it s expected they should come with power from the Governors to treate and conclude . SIR , SInce my last , I thought fit to acquaint you with these ensuing particulars , The Enemy sallyed out of Worcester on Thursday night last , but we having timely notice of their intention , placed our Ambuscadoes , and at their approach charged them , who after a hot encounter , forced them to retreat with the losse of about twenty men . Thus for the present I cease , remaining Your affectionate Friend E. H. FINIS .
