To the Honourable William Lenthal, Esquire, Speaker of the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled at Westminster. SIR, WE have seen the Votes of the House of Commons, upon our Petition, for the Supplies of this Garrison; for which, we now return our bound thanks, and we humbly beseech you to continue your care of us, that we may in season receive these Supplies ordered for us. We have lately made some attempts upon the enemy in small parties; which always returned with some Prisoners, Horse, and other booty: And upon Saturday last, in the morning, we sent out five hundred Foot, and one hundred Horse, to fall on the enemies Fortifications at Kenterberry Work, and St. Budeaux Church, where they took by storm all the enemies Horse, Men, Ammunition, and whatsoever else was there. The first Work was taken without the loss of one man of ours, and the other after some hot dispute, was also gained with the loss onely of five common men of ours, and mayor Haynes, a most gallant honest man; of the enemy were slain in all twelve, whereof one was an ensign: The enclosed is a List of what was then taken. We are in earnest expectation of the residue of our Supplies, which we much want; and if we have encouragement for our men, we hope we shall( by Gods blessing) be able to attempt some greater pieces of the enemies with good success; whereof( as there is an occasion) we shall give you an account. This we desire you to intimate to the House of Commons, and we remain Plymouth, 30. of Decemb. 1645.

SIR, IN my last I acquainted you, how the enemy quit the Forts before Plymouth, and left seven piece of Ordnance behind them; which places, the Plymouth men do man with force from thence, and much annoy the enemy, who yesterday quit Sir Francis Drakes house; and before this had been as far as Pendennis, but that they know we are engaged before Dartmouth, for the Cornish refuse to rise, though great extremity is used: By those that come from them, we understand, their discourse is altogether, how to save themselves, having nothing but the Sea for refuge: Some of the Lords about the Prince swear they will carry the Prince beyond Sea: The Lord of berkshire and others, said they will cut the throats of those that shall attempt it. Every day we take prisoners, and most Horse: We have taken in these parts above 200 Horse, since the 400 at Bovy; and yesterday another part of our Army took 80 Horse, two Colours, and thirty prisoners, within a mile of Barstable: Sir Hard-Waller with his Brigade, hath taken many near Ok●hampton. Lieutenant General Porter came in yesterday. Baronet Seymor saith, he will disinherit▪ his sons, if they will not come in and serve the Parliament. Great means those in Arms make to be received in to mercy: The country very forward to assist us: We want Arms extremely: Hasten them down. These three dayes we have laid upon hard duty before Dartmouth. Keep Guards within Musket shot; taken many prisoners. The suddenness of the thaw, hath deferred the storm; howsoever its well it was put off, for this day Captain Batten is come in to Turbay, the Harbour before Dartmouth; his assistance will be desired at Sea, while we storm at Land: There are in the Town 150 pieces of Ordnance ready mounted; the General and Commanders have thoroughly viewed the place, and with Gods blessing doubt not but to carry it: Perhaps a Fort called the Royal Fort, may stand last; but not long after the rest. I have great hopes of the business. This day a Red-Coat of ours took aim, and shot at a Commander in a Lane, and killed him dead, the rest fled and left him, our soldier pillaged him and took twelve pound in Gold out of his Pocket: We since understand, it was Lieutenant Col. Turner, the Deputy governor, as the Trumpet this Evening came out of Dartmouth informs; who came for a pass for the Lord Newport, to come out of Dartmouth to go to the Prince, which is denied him. Totnes, January 12. 12. at night. Postscript. THis morning january 16▪ a Scout is come from Tavestock, that see the Enemy quit the Town; they are all fled thence into Cornwall. As soon as Dartmouth is over, you will hear more. FINIS.
