Johnson and Aberdeene A Letter out of Ireland more fully concerning the taking of Clonmell SIR THis day we entered Clonmell which was quit by the Enemy the last night about nine of the clock after a teadious storme which continned foure houres Our men kept close to the breach which they had entered all the time save onely one accidentall Retreat in the storm We lost in this service Col. Cullum and some other Officers with divers private Souldiers and some others wounded The enemy had made many great preparations within by a traverse or crosse worke and so beat our men off as they entered but afterwards many of them stole out of the Town and left some few with the inhabitants to make conditions In the morning our Forces pursued and killed all they could light upon The Town is a very strong place and I hope the getting of this Garrison will be of good use for the gaining of others which depended upon this The English under Ormond and Inchequeen are come in and as many as desired had passes to goe beyond Seas and the rest have leave to live quiet at home I am Your affectionate friend W. A. Clonmel May 10. 1650. FINIS
