RIGHT HONORABLE , UPon Sunday night about eleven a clock J received advertisement from Captaine BODLE , that the enemy past Nielfon , with three hundred and fifty horse , and advanced towards Litterworth with a purpose to sweep the whole Countrey upon Munday , I drew forth Major BINGLEY , Captaine HACKERS , and Captaine BODELS Troops to goe and fight with them ; hearing they were at Sutton , but missing them there ; I marcht to Hinkley hearing they would quarter there that night , I came to Hinkley about seven a clock where I found all passage into the Town blockt up about halfe a mile from the Towne , I tooke one of their Scouts , who affirmed them to be three hundred horse and fiftie Dragoones , and that they had been in their Quarters two houres , I entred the Town at the end towards Barwell , first causing my Dragoons to light by the Mils , where I left their horses with a small Guard , and caused my Dragoons to advance with the Forlorn hope of thirtie horse , commanded by Captaine FITZGARRET to force the passage which after some resistance , was effected : My selfe with the small body that I had , one hundred and twentie charged up to the Crosse , where I found the Enemy in a body , and after one quarter of an hours fight wee beat them out of the Towne , being in the field they Rallied againe , and were advancing to charge us , wherupon I drew up my Dragoons , and caused them to advance with my horse into the field , where after some shots made , the Enemy gave way , then I charged them againe , with my horse which they stood not to receive , but wheeld off and fled , I pursued them above halfe a mile , but being in the night and in a dirty Countrey , I thought it not safe to pursue them any further , knowing they were as many more as I had . There were slaine of the Enemy one Captain MANWARING , of common Souldiers about twelve , but I am confident there were many wonnded . For J heare that there were some went into houses and died by the way . I have Prisoners Lievtenant GREY your Lordships Brother ) Lievtenant RAWLINGS , quartermaster DECKENS , one Trumpetter with his silver trumpet , foure and forty common Souldiers , a great many armes which I gave most unto Captatne BODLE , for his Treope and Dragoons , we took above one hundred and fifty horses , eightie head of Cattle , and divers packs with some Ammunition I released two Ministers , Prisoners , and thirtie Countrymen taken from Cosby and Laer , the Horse and Cattle being most taken from our Friends were most restored , some little satisfaction being made to the Souldiers , this was done with 120 Horse and 50 of Musquettiers of my Cosen Greys Company , his Lievtenant is a very brave man , whom your Lordship must needs think off , the Enemie by my cosen Greys confession were 300 : being three troops that came out of Newarke , two of Lichfield : one of the Lord of LOUGHBOROUGHS ; one from Tissington , and one from VViverton , besides Dragoons , the Trumpet saith sixty , my Cosen acknowledgeth twenty : The glory I wholy ascribe unto God of this action , J acknowledge it was his hand , and not ours that defeated the Enemy . For certainly had they stood to it , when they were got into a body in the field , we should have had the worst of it , My Lord , I hope , by my next to send your Lordship good news : From Newarke , In the mean time I am Right Honorable Your most faithfull Servant , Henry Grey .
