SIR,  
TO satisfy your expectation about the transactions of the proceed of our Forces against these dying Garrisons, which daily draw on by turns and desigrees: They were something peremptory in Bostoll, for a time, as if they would have outfaced us into their terms; but Sir William Campion, hath declined by degrees, to hearken to accommodation, and Commissioners on both sides were chosen to treat, for the surrender of that Garrison to Sir Thomas Fairfax, for the use and service of the Parliament.  
The Commissioners for Sir Thomas Fairfax, were 

Quarter-master-Gen. Gravener.  
Major Harison.  
Major Huntingdon.  
Major Shilborne.    
The Commissioners for Sir William Campion, were 

Sir George Aglingby.  
Capt. George Kingsley.  
Capt. Duke Wyrell.  
Edward Campion.    
Which Commissioners, having met, and had sevetall disputes about it, and passed some overtures, they came yesterday to a conclusion, and agreed on Articles, whereupon the Garrison of Bostoll, with all the Ordnance, Arms, Ammunition, and all other provisions and furniture of War, shall be forthwith surrendered for the use of Parliament, on Wednesday the 10 of June, 1646. according to the enclosed Articles; whereas (for your better satisfaction) I have sent you a Copy: By the next, I shall (God willing) give you the particulars of Sir William Campions, and his Officers and Soldiers, their marching out, and a List of what they shall leave in the Garrisons, which before we are possessed of I cannot do: Only thus much, I can assure you, that the place is strong, and good store of provisions in the Garrison; the chiefest place of strength I know in England, Oxford, Wallingford, Lichfield Close, Worcester, and Pendennis excepted, all which it is to be hoped, will ere long be in our hands also; but for those the Enemy keeps in these parts, Wallingford are not now so forward to sally as they were, yet desperately resolute still in holding out, till they see what Oxford will do; and so also their Garrison at Faringdon waits to see the issue of their Grand Treaty at Marston. His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, hath removed his Quarters to Water-eaton, nearer to the place of Treaty, which goeth still on every morning and afternoon; Their Commissioners and ours dine together, the overtures go on with love by the Commissioners on both sides: Sometimes their attendants will give harsh words to some of our servants, but such things are passed by, and not taken notice of. The oftener they come amongst us, the worse they like their own conditions: The Commissioners have gone over some of the Articles, and for aught I can perceive, they may agree for the whole upon all the Articles of the surrender of Oxford: I would acquaint you with the particulars thereof, but that I am enjoined secrecy, and I do not see how I can make any thing public without prejudice as yet, but within few days I shall write more at large of it: I can assure you, That the wisdom of our Commissioners (as in other things, God hath blessed us so in this) it is to admired, every thing being carried on with such sweetness, and so full of gravity and wisdom, and all submission and conformity to the Orders and Ordinances of both Houses of Parlialiament; I doubt not but that God, who hath hitherto done wonderfully for us, will perfect his own Work to his glory, and the shame of those who are the opposers thereof. We all wait God's time, to whom I leave you, and ever am  
Marston the 7. of june, 1646. Your humble Servant N. T.
