heard but as they came nigh to it they perceived it surrounded and heard Guns discharged and People shrieking whereupon being unarm'd and totally unable to rescue their Father they preserved their own Lives in hopes yet to serve their King and Countrey and see Justice done upon those Hell-hound treacherous Murtherers the Shame of their Countrey and Disgrace of Mankind I must not forget to tell you that there were two of these Officers who had given their Paroll of Honour to Mac-jan who refused to be concerned in that brutal Tragedy for which they were sent Prisoners to Glascow where if they remain not still I am sure they were some Weeks ago Thus Sir in obedience to your Commands I have sent you such account as I could get of that monstrous and most inhumane Massacre of the Laird of Glenco and others of his Clan You desire some Proofs for the Truth of the Story●s for you say there are many in England who cannot believe such a thing could be done and publick Justice not executed upon the Russians For they take it for granted that no such Order could be given by the Government and you say they will never believe it without a downright Demonstration Sir As to the Government I will not meddle with it or whether these Officers who murdered Glenco had such Orders as they pretended from the Government the Government knows that best and how to vindicate their own Honour and punish the Murtherers who pretended their Authority and still stand upon it But as to the Matter of Fact of the Murther of Glenco you may depend upon it as certain and undeniable It would be thought as strange a thing in Scotland for any Man to doubt of it as of the Death of my Lord Dundee or with you that the Duke of Monmouth lost his Head But to Put you out of all doubt you will e'er long have my Ld.

B. That the Gentleman to whom this Letter was sent did on Thursday June 30. 1692. when the Ld. Argyle's Regiment was quartered at Branford go thither and had this Story of the Massacre of Glenco from the very Men were the Actors in it Glenlyon and Drummond were both there The Highlander who told him the Story expressing the Guilt which was visible in Glenlyon said Glenco hangs about Glenlyon Night and Day and you may see him in his Face I am told likewise that Sr. John Lawder refused to accept of the Place of Ld. Advocate of Scotland unless he might have liberty to prosecute Glenlyon and the rest of the Murtherers of Glenco which not being granted James Stuart who was forfeited for Treason by K.
