ORdered by the said Committee , That this Letter be forthwith Printed and Published . GUALTHER FROST Secr' London , Printed for Edward Husband , Printer to the Honorable House of Commons , July 12. 1648. To the Honorable William Lenthal Esq Speaker of the Honorable House of COMMONS . Mr. Speaker , BEing deeply sensible of the reflection upon me and divers other innocent persons by Mr. Osborns proceedings in excuse of his odious Treachery , I am bold to beg of you , That this Charge against Major Rolph may be brought to a speedy Examination , who , I am confident , will appear a man exceedingly injured , and this onely a Design to work greater disturbances in these distracted times . As this horrid scandal relates to the Army , I must say , That neither directly nor indirectly , from any Member of it , or from any other persons or person whatever , did I ever receive a word or tittle tending in the least to such a wicked purpose ; much less as it relates to my self , could I , or did I , speak any such thing to Major Rolph . But this is not the first fruit of this kinde I have received for my faithful Service to you , nor is it more then what I have expected ; yet herein I am satisfied , That in faithfulness and integrity I have served your Commands , with all possible care of , and respect to the Person of the King ; so that come what will come , I can say from a good Conscience , The will of God be done : And in this I Appeal to His Majesty , who of any man best knows it , and who doth ( and I doubt not will still do ) upon every occasion as opportunity serves , sufficiently clear me . Sir , if through Mr. Osborns Malice , or rather the wicked Design of those who have set him a work , you have received the least prejudice of me , be pleased to send down some other , whom you may judge more worthy your Trust , to receive my Charge , and I shall immediately , with all possible speed , present my self to you to receive your pleasure : In the mean time , it shall be the business of my best endeavors , to preserve His Majesties Person from Danger , as well as in Security in this place , according to your Commands , until I receive Instructions for His removal , which I hope and expect will be sudden . Sir , when I am throughly considered , you will finde none more faithful to you , and more observant to your Commands , then , Sir , Your most humble Servant , RO: HAMMOND . Carisbrook Castle , July 4. 1648. To the Right Honorable , The Committee of Lords and Commons at Derby-house . Right Honorable , WE are bold to dispatch this Messenger with the good News which we have received from Col : Scroops party : Upon the Lords day between two and three of the clock , one of this Committee of the Militia went himself with Colonel Scroop to Hitchin , and procured him six good Guides , two of which were Captains in our Militia , these directed our party the nearest way to St. Needs , whither the Enemy was gone : These Captains being still with the party , sent to us by some of the other Guides this Intelligence , That yesterday about the Sun-rising , Col : Scroop sent a Forlorn of 100 horse into St. Needs , who immediatly secured those Horse which were in the town , many having received the Alarum from their Scouts , and being got away ; there was taken in the Town the Earl of Holland , with many other Officers of quality , and about two hundred Horse , with much gold and silver , & other good booty : Col : Dalbeir slain , and about twelve more ; their Body is much broken hereby , and Col : Scroop in the pursuit of them ; the Prisoners which are many , are secured in St. Needs Church , and are expected to be sent this day to Hitchin : VVe are Your Honors humble Servants , ISAAC PULLER , WILLIAM PLOMER , Hartford , July , 11 past five in the Morning 1648.
