<HEAD>THE PROTESTANTS LAST LAST VICTORY OVER FHE REBELS IN <HI>IRELAND.</HI></HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>DEAR BROTHER:</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>I Received your Letter of the 10. of Febr. but had never opportunity or lea&s;ure to recommend my true re|&s;pects to you, untill this fit occa&s;ion prof|fered; for we have bin &s;o bu&s;ied upon &s;trict duty ever &s;ince, that we have had &s;carce time to eat our &s;mall victuals we get, for the Rogues are up in every place about us, &s;o that we are every day upon &s;ome march or &s;ervice; but this Bearer hath faithfully promi&s;ed to deliver this with his own hands unto you: and
<PB REF="4">therfore I will to &s;atisfie your reque&s;t, relate to you &s;uch <HI>Occurrents,</HI> and pa&s;&s;a|ges, as have lately fallen out here; for my own part, I have not bin well ever &s;ince our bu&s;ine&s;&s;e at <HI>A&s;hinhanon,</HI> by means of a fall I got homewards.</P>
<P>Yet on monday morning I made a &s;hift to get to Hor&s;e, and marcht with our troop towards <HI>Kildare;</HI> upon a Re|port of a skirmi&s;h at <HI>Lunder&s;ton</HI> between the Rebels and Lieutenant Col. <HI>Hurcliffi</HI> where the Rebels were put to &s;light, and thereupon the L. <HI>Dulon</HI> removed from <HI>Caterlaff,</HI> and came towards <HI>Wood&s;tocke,</HI> that night we lay at <HI>Clanmor,</HI> and the Rebels at <HI>Bolton.</HI></P>
<P>On Tue&s;day morning we had a Com|mand from Sir <HI>Simon Harcourt</HI> by three a clock to march towards <HI>Kildare,</HI> we were in all 180. Hor&s;e, 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 num|ber at lea&s;t 6000. hor&s;e and foot, which
<PB REF="4">made us &s;omwhat pau&s;e upon the mat|ter, and at a place of advantage (within a mile of <HI>Kildare</HI>) to make a &s;tand.</P>
<P>But within half an hour, we had News that <HI>Serieant Maior Berrie,</HI> and Captain <HI>Parramore</HI> were within an hours march of us and made all the ha&s;t they could from their quarters towards us, with their Companies, and two pie|ces of Ordnance, which we found to be true, which put a great deal of courage unto us, and &s;o wee marcht onwards to|wards <HI>Kildare,</HI> where we under&s;tood the Rebels were at <HI>Water,</HI> a little Town four miles off, and that they were in|trenching them&s;elves there.</P>
<P>Which to prevent, we made all the ha&s;te we could to them, and about four in the Afternoon we perceived them.</P>
<P>Captain <HI>MARRO</HI> was the fir&s;t Troop appointed to fall on, and <HI>Ser|ieant Maior Berrie</HI> of the Foot, which was bravely &s;econded by all our Forces there, playing again&s;t them couragiou&s;ly
<PB REF="5">But the &s;port la&s;ted not above half an hour before a great &s;torm of Raign fell on us, which hindered our play, and the Rebels retreated into a wood, near <HI>Water</HI> Town, where they re&s;ted untill 7. a clock at night; at which time our &s;ire-locks gave them &s;uch a &s;alutation, that being &s;econded by the re&s;t of our Forces, they were enforced to leave the wood, and fly towards <HI>Wood&s;tock,</HI> which gave us &s;uch contentment, that we failed not to pur|&s;ue them, untill they came to <HI>Bernee,</HI> where we fell upon their Carriages, and provi&s;ion, Sir <HI>Richard Grenvile</HI> took a Kin&s;man of the Lord <HI>Dulons</HI> with his own hand, in the Cha&s;e we al&s;o took 35 of their hor&s;e, among&s;t whom was one Lieutenant <HI>Fitz-James,</HI> who&s;e hor&s;e and furniture came to my lot; we al&s;o took three pieces of Iron Ordinance, four wag|gons of Ammunition, &s;even waggons of Bread, Chee&s;e, and Butter (which made us very merry) 700. Cattell. 3000. &s;heep, and above 200. Swine, with above 400. mens Armes; with which we bravely
<PB REF="5">marcht towards <HI>Kildare</HI> where we mer|rily cheer'd our bellies, and la&s;t night came home into our quarters.</P>
<P>We lo&s;t in all this &s;ervice about 97. men, among&s;t whom was Lieutenant <HI>Cannock,</HI> and Captain <HI>Marroes</HI> Quarter|ma&s;ter, and of our own Company <HI>Will Parker,</HI> and the Cutler, and no more, <HI>Fitz-James</HI> &s;aith, that the Lord <HI>Dulon</HI> received a &s;hot in one of his thighs, and was in great danger, and that they lo&s;t above 1000. men in the skirmi&s;h and flight, and &s;ome other News upon hear|&s;ay I could write, but that I leave till the next conveniency, and to the Relation of Sir <HI>Richard</HI> his man, and de&s;ire you to ha&s;ten 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.</P>
<P>You &s;hall not fail to receive Letters from me by every Po&s;t that comes from us, as long as I am able to write to you. Commend me to <HI>Edward Seamor,</HI> Mrs.
<PB REF="6"><HI>Kate,</HI> and her Mother, and with my true re&s;pects commended to your &s;elf. I com|mit you to the protection of the highe&s;t, and will ever remain</P>
