The Earle of Antrims Letter to Ge∣nerall Major MONROE.
Noble Colonell,
I Was glad when I heard you were to be employed in this Kingdom, but now more pleased to heare that you and others of your name are safely arrived. I hope you beleeve I have not beene ignorant of the relation that has bin betweene your Family and mine, and still continued by those of my name in Scotland, especially by Sir Donald, I shall be very ready to keepe the same correspondency, if I had the opportunity. And now having the occasion by your journey into Ireland, I shall be as willing to give you a beliefe of it as any other friend whatsoever. And I am very confident to receive a return from you accordingly.
I cannot so easily expresse any particulars, as I should be centent to doe by word of mouth; and if you please to doe me the favour to meet me at Glenarme, and to signifie to me the time, I shall take it as a great argument of your respects and friendship to me; and you may be there as much Master of the place as my selfe. I shall not go attended in the posture of a Souldier, but in my accustomed manner, that the lookers on may take notice of our familiar meeting and re∣spect to each other. And I hope we shall agree in the maine point for his Majesties service and the quieting of my Countrey; and I shall strive to relieve Coleraine with victuals very shortly.
I am sorry that in my absence my people were so unfortunate as to doe any hostile act, though in their owne defence, being compelled to it for safety of their lives, which they say they can make appeare in a convenient time: and the relation of the manner of the one and the other, I must refer to our meeting, and then I shall be better able to tell your honour how much I am
Your affectionate friend and humble servant, ANTRIM.
Dunluce the last of Apil, 1642.
FINIS.
