Letter from a prisoner amid English Civil War turmoil
A prisoner writes to Lexi detailing the king’s death or escape, noble losses, and dispersed soldiers. He recalls narrowly escaped dangers at Wiggan and Worcester, receives quarter from Captain Edge, hopes to reach Chester to see his daughters, and warns about betrayals. He requests care for Lexi and his children, regrets potential costs, and mentions Baggerly to justify the letter.
