Right Honourable,  
THE Lord Duke of Buckingham, the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Holland, the Lord Francis, the Lord Andover, with the rest of the Lords, and chief of the Gentlemen at Kingston, and hereabouts, had a consultation about removing the Horse quarters, and it was concluded to go to Rigate, and accordingly they went this day intending to possess themselves of it.  
Sir Miles Livesey who had before taken Horsem, with twenty prisoners, and defeated the Cavaliers in Sussex) being come up, possessed himself of Rigate before them, which caused the Lords to retreat back towards Kingston.  
Major Gibbons coming to join with Sir Miles Livesey against the Duke of Buckingham's party (who were about 700 horse) they pursued after them and discovered them near Nonsuch.  
The Duke of Buckingham with some of the Horse was then (it being almost night) got into Kingston, And a man of colonel Hammonds, that was sent to view, was coming back taken by six of their Scouts, and his Horse worth 20ls. taken from him, (Colonel Hammond) Lieut. Col. of the Ordnance himself being near to join with Sir Miles Liusey but could not find him, and other parties were coming with better strength.  
Upon the approach of Sir Miles Livesey there was an alarm in Kingston, whereupon the guards were doubled, and all to horse, whereby colonel Hammond's man made an escape into a cornfield.  
Sir Miles Livesey, Propounded in the head of his soldiers, whither they would stay until more assistance came to them, or fall on that night  
They all cried (as one man) Fall on, fall on, which accordingly they did, And fought with them between Nonsuch and Kingston, and both the Kentishmen and the rest fell on with such valour that the Lords stood not out the first Charge, But fled towards Kingston, Sir Miles Liusey pursuing them, doing execution many being killed and taken.  
When Sir Miles Livesey, came to the turnpike at Kingston towns-end, he had some opposition by some foot placed there, but after some dispute gained it.  
The Cavaliers plundered Sir Gilbert Gerrard's, and divers other horses, and fled towards Harrow.  
Sir Miles Livesey, with his Forces is marching over Kingston bridge against them, it is said they are some 400 horse that are gone thither, which is all that is left of them of whom it is hoped there will suddenly be given a very good account,  
Sir I am Your Honours humble servant, Hen. Frierson. Nonsuch the 7 of July 1648
