Butler who is dangerously wounded Major Butler who was Maior of the Town his son and some few others who were taken prisoners Those slain were above four hundred and such was the goodnesse of God to us that we lost but one Captain and eight men in this service but indeed we have neer an hundred hurt The Rebels are in a cruel fright whereof my Lord intends to make the best use he can and is now sending to summon Fitherd a strong walled Town five or six miles hence and within fourteen miles of the City of Kilkenny which hath been the nest and magazine of the chiefest of the Rebels Blessed be the Lord for this good successe on this noble Lord and this Army who are very entire and very ready to do as much as men in their case can do for the service of the Parliament I thought good hereby to give you notice of what hath past since my Lord made his dispatch being now three days ago and withal to let you know that we have now received notice that the Lord Taaff with about five thousand Rebels who dare not give us battel have done us some mischief about Cork in our absence in burning the houses and corn about Garrigroghan from whence they went to Awneboy six miles westward and burnt also there and got some money to spare other parts and now they lie about Bandon and threaten it What my Lord and the Councel will do hereupon is not yet known to us but without doubt they will do what they conceive best for the Service as far forth as God shall enable them And if we be so happie as to overtake them I trust I shall send you a further Relation by the next which you will have cause to blesse God for And so I rest Cashel 15 Sept. 1647.
