Transcribed by Barb Baker. Geo. WIGAN PERFECT PASSAGES OF EVERY DAYES INTELLIGENCE, Friday, August 15, 1651. A letter from MAJOR GEN. HARRISON in Lancashire. My Lord, Having joyned with MAJOR GEN LAMBERT about 12 at noon on the 13 instant, on Hazelmore, within 7 miles of Preston. The Enemy, according to our best intelligence, lying then on Ethil Moore, 4 Miles on this side Lancaster, and that evening marched to Haworth Moore, within 8 miles of Preston, and yesterday through Preston towards Wigan, designing (as we conceive) to get up to Warrington Bridge before us. Yesterday receiving a sudden account of their marching through the Town, we crossed the Countrey, and about one of the Clock this morning reached Bolton, and after some short stay for refreshing our men, we marched away for Warington, where we are now in conjunction, with about 4000 Foot and Dragoons raised in Cheshire and Staffordshire. We are improving the littletime we have got before them here, to the spoyling the Ford and Passes on the River, especially between us and Manchester, leaving those open to them (only) where if they attempt passage, we may be most considerable to make opposition, and (if the Lord will) engage them. Wherein we wait his pleasure and providence concerning us, not questioning if we be clearly called to give them battel, or that they seek us out and force us to it (as in reason it seems to be much their interest) before my Lord Gen. comes up with the Foot and Train, (which is heart-filled with a heavenly power from the Lord, and see his ancient Arm lifted up as in former ***** against his Enemy, I am Sir, Your most humble Servant, T. HARRISON. At the Camp near Warrington-Bridge the 16th day of the sixth moneth, about 11 in the morning. Munday.
