Upon our return I have sent you a relation of what happened on the march upon the 10. of August there went about 2000 Foot with some Horse towards Trim, upon Tuesday following we Marched after them, the second day we lay 4. miles short of Trim, where we heard the Van of our Army, with some Forces out of the Garrison in Trim, had taken in the Castle Knock, lying 4. miles to the left hand, we lost 30. men, for they stood it out to the last man. Upon Friday all the Army met two miles beyond Trim, we had 51. Colours flying and about 1000 Horse, we Marched to the Castle of Baramore, which is the nighest way 42. miles from Dublin, and never saw an Enemy, only the Enemy made us return and go more upon the left hand by burning a Bridge, so that we could not pass that way, there was another Bridge the wain Marched, and a pretty town, but forsaken and burnt by us, as we did all other towns and Castles all the way we went, the Enemy has left the towns, but their Goods they have hid in the bogs, or else conveyed them into the County of Weekley; the Rebels had made a very strong breast work against the Bridge, and were 500 men to man it, but in the morning forsook it: The Castle of Baramore where we rested one day before our return is a place naturally fortified with a great bog, only one way to come to it, where they had made strong works, yet durst not make them good; from thence my Lord Jones and Sir Michael Earnely their two Regiments went alone, which is ten miles further, and are to keep Garrison in Canaught and thereabouts. The next day we Marched straight for Dublin with the remainder of our Army, finding no opposition, only one day we passed by one of the enemy's Castles, which we could not stay to take in, by reason we wanted pieces of Battery and bread for our men if we should stay; when the rear of our Army was past which we had upon our March that day▪ some quantity of the enemy's Horse very well manned came rushing out of a Wood, which caused us when we were over the bog to fall about and make a sudden stand, expecting that they would have charged us, but they only stayed for stragglers, the next day we was to pass a morasle, where there was but a narrow Causey, which way the Enemy thought we would have Marched from Dublin, and had therefore made a strong breast work, and to hinders us had made a double ditch, half pike deep, and cast all the loose earth in the midst, which did hinder us in respect we wanted timber, and the ground was so base, as it was long ere the Carriages durst venture over; that night we Marched to Kilcock a very pretty town 12. miles from Dublin, the only town we left unburnt, it was lately built by the English; all the way of our march what persons soever, as men, women, or children that our soldiers met, they gave no quarter they were so enraged that the Enemy would not fight. I never saw finer Countries in all my life than we were thorough, store of Corn growing, and that special in all parts, and after the two first days march we wanted not for good beef, and excellent Cheese, but not a drop of drink for 3. or 4. days together, and then but a little by chance for the Officer. I never in my life time in England knew greater and colder reins in winter than we had every day but one with us, I protest I do verily think we did not come 3. nights all the march to our quarter but our men were wet to the skin, and then the good earth was our lodging, and we came usually so late as the men had scarce time to help themselves, and to get rest, for we was to march by 4 or 5. in the morning; it had bred much sickness amongst our fresh soldiers, wherein I have a part, being brought to extreme weakness with the country disease, for which I this day take physic. I had much ado to finish my Letter, I will conclude with the tender of my duty to yourself and my Mother, with my prayers for your happy preservation. My humble service to my Lady Alesbury with the rest of that worthy family, my Cousin Lowing and his wife, my love to my brother with the rest of my Friends, so I rest, Your obedient son, THO. JOHNSON. Dublin 19 Augu. 1642. My service to my Cousin Tucker, and I pray let him see this Letter, that he may know the just reason I do write to him by this Post, but he may by this understand all the news, I know only thus much more, we have no pay, nor have little hopes, by reason of the manifold troubles with you. Ordered that this be printed and published, H. Elsing, Cler. Parl. D. C. FINIS.
