London Printed for ROBERT WOOD 1641. THE PROTESTANTS LAST LAST VICTORY OVER FHE REBELS IN IRELAND DEAR BROTHER I Received your Letter of the 10. of Febr. but had never opportunity or leasure to recommend my true respects to you untill this fit occasion proffered for we have bin so busied upon strict duty ever since that we have had scarce time to eat our small victuals we get for the Rogues are up in every place about us so that we are every day upon some march or service but this Bearer hath faithfully promised to deliver this with his own hands unto you and therfore I will to satisfie your request relate to you such Occurrents and passages as have lately fallen out here for my own part I have not bin well ever since our businesse at Ashinhanon by means of a fall I got homewards Yet on monday morning I made a shift to get to Horse and marcht with our troop towards Kildare upon a Report of a skirmish at Lunderston between the Rebels and Lieutenant Col. Hurcliffi where the Rebels were put to slight and thereupon the L. Dulon removed from Caterlaff and came towards Woodstocke that night we lay at Clanmor and the Rebels at Bolton On Tuesday morning we had a Command from Sir Simon Harcourt by three a clock to march towards Kildare we were in all 180. Horse and 1300 foot at our going forth and by 8. of the clock in the morning we had intelligence by the people of our Party that the Rebels had marched all night and were in number at least 6000. horse and foot which made us somwhat pause upon the matter and at a place of advantage within a mile of Kildare to make a stand But within half an hour we had News that Serieant Maior Berrie and Captain Parramore were within an hours march of us and made all the hast they could from their quarters towards us with their Companies and two pieces of Ordnance which we found to be true which put a great deal of courage unto us and so wee marcht onwards towards Kildare where we understood the Rebels were at Water a little Town four miles off and that they were intrenching themselves there Which to prevent we made all the haste we could to them and about four in the Afternoon we perceived them Captain MARRO was the first Troop appointed to fall on and Serieant Maior Berrie of the Foot which was bravely seconded by all our Forces there playing against them couragiously But the sport lasted not above half an hour before a great storm of Raign fell on us which hindered our play and the Rebels retreated into a wood near Water Town where they rested untill 7. a clock at night at which time our sire-locks gave them such a salutation that being seconded by the rest of our Forces they were enforced to leave the wood and fly towards Woodstock which gave us such contentment that we failed not to pursue them untill they came to Bernee where we fell upon their Carriages and provision Sir Richard Grenvile took a Kinsman of the Lord Dulons with his own hand in the Chase we also took 35 of their horse amongst whom was one Lieutenant Fitz-James whose horse and furniture came to my lot we also took three pieces of Iron Ordinance four waggons of Ammunition seven waggons of Bread Cheese and Butter which made us very merry 700. Cattell 3000. sheep and above 200. Swine with above 400. mens Armes with which we bravely marcht towards Kildare where we merrily cheer'd our bellies and last night came home into our quarters We lost in all this service about 97. men amongst whom was Lieutenant Cannock and Captain Marroes Quartermaster and of our own Company Will Parker and the Cutler and no more Fitz-James saith that the Lord Dulon received a shot in one of his thighs and was in great danger and that they lost above 1000. men in the skirmish and flight and some other News upon hear-say I could write but that I leave till the next conveniency and to the Relation of Sir Richard his man and desire you to hasten him away to my Mother for I cannot be quiet till I hear from her pray if you come not over let me hear from you at every opportunity and what News at home for we hear a 100. lyes You shall not fail to receive Letters from me by every Post that comes from us as long as I am able to write to you Commend me to Edward Seamor Mrs. Kate and her Mother and with my true respects commended to your self I commit you to the protection of the highest and will ever remain Yours in what I may WIL.
