M. Wriglisworth.  
I have received your Letter dated the fourteenth of March, I understand thereby of your pains and care you have taken therein for which I am obliged unto you for. I hope John Bettson is in London by this. I thought good to give you notice of the great victory and deliverance which God hath given our Army here the first of March, they marched out of town about 4000 horse and foot, the Chief commanders was the Lieutenant General, the Lord Lile, Sr. Frances Willowby, Sir Thomas Lucas, Sir Richard Greenefield, Colonel Hunks, Colonel Cromwell Colonel Monk, Colonel Gibson, with six pieces of ordnance: First they assayed Timlin Castle they refusing quarter the castle was taken, and three hundred put to the Sword, from thence they marched to besiege Rosse, after the besieging for four day's General Preston came upon them with seven thousand foot and eight hundred horse, all his army were the choice men of the Kingdom thinking verily to vanquish our army, a new hot battle they had, insomuch that they came to the sword; the Chief of them shown themselves mighty valorous insomuch that they went so fare on, that they were not able to get off against, the common sort the General forgetting to sheckle them, they all ran away and left their assisers to the mercy of our men, weich shown them but little, at the last it pleased God to give our army the day: it is credebly reported that there was killed of the chief commanders and assisers about three hundred besides, the commons, some say a thousand. I have sent you a list of some of the chief Commanders which were taken prisoners and slain, the most that any man says were killed of our men were not above twenty and never a man of note but Marshal Burrowes, but we had several hurt, as Sir Thomas Lucas cut in the head with a pole-axe, and Major Morris, and Major Hammon shot they came home the seven and twentieth of March, 1643. The Lord Marbuesse behaved himself very valiantly and so di all the rest. I pray remember my service to your partner, and give him thanks for his intelligence, I pray show him this, with my love to yourself I rest and am.
