From Carrickfergus, April 2. 1642.

Sir,

I Wrote to you from Dublin two Letters, wherein I shewed you the estate of this Kingdom at large, and the misery these rebellious people have run them∣selves into: But now at this place here is no Aid come over yet, for the Scots have lien this Month within 16 Leagues of this place, and in all this time have not had a winde to bring them over: And when I arrived here some 10 dayes since, here was not a∣bove 700 men, and not Arms for a third part of those neither, nor yet money to pay them; and for my part, I had as little as the least, for I brought but one groat hither: But since here is 2 Ships arrived, laden with Ammunition, and 3 Ships laden with Corn from Lon∣don, and my Lord Conway and his Troop; so now it is somewhat amended: But I hope very suddenly it will be a great deal better, if once our Ships come with the Scotish Forces, and some better Governours that will curb these Scots; for here hath been great want of good Commanders all this time. But I doubt not, that if the Lord blesse us, but that you shall see this a free Conquest in a short time: therefore I could wish that you would sell the house at a venture; for if this Kingdom be subdued, as I doubt not but that it will, then will here be brave living, and a man with one hundred pounds in his purse shall purchase that

here, whereupon he may live better than he that hath 100 per annum in England. Corn is very reasonable now, over it hath been; but the next yeer it will be dear hear, in regard that there hath been none sown since the••e Wars; and that that was afore sown, now will be destroyed. And thus desiring you to remem∣ber my duty to my mother, I shall ever remain

Your obedient Son, T. K.

March 25. 1642. Dublin.

IT is credibly reported, That Sir Charles Coot will march out of Dublin with an Army on Monday next to cleare the Country on the other side of Dublin.

If we had but men enough to leave in Dublin to se∣cure it, and were able to march forth with 10000 men. I think we might go all over Ireland; for God hath put such terrour and dread in the hearts of our enemies, that they are afraid to stand against us; for 500 of them will not stand to fight with 100. Our souldiers are all very resolute and couragious, and they want nothing but their pay, which they have not received these seven weeks last past.

FINIS.
