LONDON , Printed for Matthew Walbanck at Grays-Inne Gate . March . 24 1645. A True Relation by Colonell Morgan in a Letter of the totall routing the Lord Ashley by him and Sir William Brereton at Stow. Gentlemen , HAving received a Command from the Honourable Committee of both Kingdomes to take the charge of a brigade of Horse and foote drawne out of the Garisons of Gloucester , Hereford , and Evishalm , to prevent the Lord Ashley's conjunction with the Kings forces at Oxford , and to effect that designe , I drew forth and randevoused seasonably neere Evishalme and Warwicke , notwithstanding the Lord Ashley endeavoured by all meanes to get by mee , which much foyled my brigade to prevent , in marching from place to place , to secure the place upon River Avon . Yet after some considerations , I perceived that hee was unwilling to passe over so long as I lay neer the River . Resolved upon Thursday last to quarter and campe in the most convenient place ( wheresoever hee made his passage ) to fall upon him , and that night had intelligence of his march from Droit with neer 100. horse towards Bedford 3. miles from Evishalm , whereof I presently advertised Colonell Whaly and Colonell Fleetwood , and sent post to Sir VVill . Brereton for the assistance of his horse , which was accordingly granted : but upon Friday the Lord Ashley still continuing his march , and Sir VVilliam Brereton not come up , was forced to hold him in action for the space of 4. houres , skirmishing with by parties , and keeping my body drawne up in a most advantagious place for pursute , in case he should passe by me before sir VVill . Brereton came up , which about nine a clocke that night he did , whereupon I resolved to pursue , thinking it more advantagious to fall upon his reare , then at that time to draw out to meete him in the field , and in my pursute Sir VVilliam Brereton came up with 800 horse ( of whom I desired to receive orders , but he referred the whole command of the field unto me , then being equall in number to the Lord Ashley's forces , consisting of 3000. I commanded 400. horse & 200 Firelocks to charge his reare guard , to put him to a stand before he should passe through Stow upon the Would , and as my intelligence informed me , the King was to have joyned with him within 7 mile of that place , where hee made choyse of his ground , and had the wind with him , yet trusting in God , I drew up and charged him , whom halfe an houre before day on Saturday morning I put to a total route , killed many Gent. and Officers of quality , took prisoners the L. Ashley and all his foot officers , whose names are in the inclosed list , besides 1600. common souldiers , whereof many being wounded , I gave liberty to goe to their owne homes , taking the oath of the 5th of April , the rest I have sent to Gloucester : there is also taken 2000. arms & all their ammunition . Sir VVill . Brereton desired that the L. Ashley should be his prisoner , which I willingly condiscended unto , not doubting but hee will give a good account of him to the Parliament ; this good successe ( the glory thereof I desire may be given unto God ) will prevent the King from drawing an army into the field which he expected : I am now marched towards Worcester , where I shall observe such orders as I shall receive from the Parliament and the Committee of both Kingdomes , and in the mean time shall endeavour to make use of all opportunities to weaken the enemy , and to advance the publike service , which shal alwayes be the desire of him who will ever subscribe himselfe to bee Gentlemen , Your faithfull friend and servant , THO: MORGAN .
