In my last , not by the last Poste , but by the Poste before , I certified you what then had been done by our Armie abroad ; and that night our Lieutenant Generall came home , and all the Armie ( blessed be God ) very safe and well . And have not ever since been forth but once , viz. on Saterday last Sir Simon Harecot our English Collonel , with about an hundred and twenty horse , went forth to view the Countrey six miles from this Citie toward the County of Wicklowe , and espying some Rebels made toward them : whereupon the Rebels fled , and betook themselves unto the Castle of Kilgobbon , where our horsemen watching them that none should get forth , sent hither for aid . And there was present aid sent them about a thousand Foot and Horse , and that night they besieged the Castle , the next day there was ( being Sunday the 27th . ) sent unto them two peeces of Ordnance to batter the Castle : and after 21. shot made , it was very hardly won ; but in placing the ordnance , Sir Symon being directing how it should be done , was shot in the left shoulder , and on Monday last he died ; And with him was shot Lieutenant Cooke dead in the place , and Serjeant Major Berry , both which came over the last week with the 400 Fire-locks out of England , and with them were about ten more of our men lost , Serieant Maior Berry is yet living , but not like to recover . And that night was the Castle wonne , and about two hundred men , women and children in it ( of the Rebels ) slain , and that night our men blew up the Castle with powder , since which we have had no further proceedings here . On Monday last the 28 news came from Sir Henry Tichborne , that he had taken Dundaulke , and it is credibly reported of all , that he hath slain eight hundred men in the taking of it , and hath recovered in Dundawlke , three peeces of ordnance , and about thirtie thousand pounds in money , plate , and goods for pillage . He wonne before that Ardee , and set a garison there , and another in Bewly Castle . It is reported that he slew since he went from Tredath eleven hundred men with the losse of a very few men ; and he would now go for the Newry , where is the chief Magazine that the Rebels have , and most of their Treasure , but that he wants men ; for the whole Armie of his was but three thousand ; of which , part were left to keep Tredath , part at Bewly Castle , part at Ardee , and now if he leave a Garison also at Dundawlke , he will not have men enough to go against the Newry , for that is a strong place . Thus hath God prospered that man , for he is a good man ; we cannot certainly heare what strength they have on our side in the North , nor what my Lord President of Mounster hath done , I am afraid it goes hard with our friend there . We heare that my Lord President of Connaugh is forst to retire to the Castle of Athlone . And that divers Castles where our friends are , are hard besieged , and that the Castle of Geashell is surrendred upon composition , where our Ladie Affa●y kept , but not with the safetie of all their lives that were in it . The nineteenth instant came my Lord Dunsany to Dublin , and submitted himself , and is in the Castle , and his sonne , and some other Gentlemen with them ; We are yet in great straight for moneyes , and I am afraid we shall be in as great want of Corne shortly , except we have good supply out of England , for our Armie burnes all before them , and we are not stor'd before-hand , but from hand to mouth . It is yet somewhat reasonable , because men have not money to store up any , and for feare of burning : some quantitie ha●h been brought in these three weeks past , and now comes but very little in . At Tredath they have a very great Market , and betweene this and that the way reasonable cleare ; but on Wicklowe side , to the Southwestward , the Rebels are in great number , I think our Armie goes that way shortly . Thus with my humble dutie remembred , and my love to my brother John Cole , and sister his wife , and the rest of my brothers and sisters , I take leave . Resting ever , Your obedient Sonne , ROBERT COLE . FINIS .
