From on Board the Swallow, near Red-Castle, at Two Afternoon, the 15th. of April, 1689.
SIR,
HEaring you have taken the Field, in Order to Fight the Enemy, I have thought it necessary for His Majesty's Service, to let you know there are two well-disciplined Regiments here on Board, that may joyn you in two days at farthest, I am sure they will be of great Use in any Occasion, but especially for the Encouragement of Raw Men, as I judge most of yours are: Therefore it is my Opinion, that you only stop the Passage of the Enemy at the Foords of Finn, till I can joyn you, and afterwards, if giving Battel be necessary, you will be in a much better po∣sture for it than before. I must ask your Pardon if I am too free in my Advice; according to the Remote Prospect I have of things, this seems most Reasonable to me; but as His Majesty has left the whole Dire∣ction of Matters to you, so you shall find that no Man living shall more chearfully Obey you, than
Your Most Humble Servant. JOHN CUNNINGHAM.
