Right Honourable, MAjor General Jones our Governor of this City of Dublin; and Commander, in chief of all the Forces of this province of Lemster (to keep the Soldiers in action, and destroy the Rebels quarters, and force them at a distance) designed a considerable strength to march into the County of Wicklow. The Rebels hearing of their design, marched out of their quarters from several places, and (upon their near approach) fled before them: The very noise of our men strickes such a terror into the hearts of the Rebels, that they know not what to do being extremely fearful of being forced to another engagement. So that our men have had very good success in Wicklow, from whence they have brought very good prey of which I have sent you a list (enclosed herein) of the particulars, by which you may see what a mighty booty God hath put into our hands. And if the Lord be pleased to settle you at peace at home, and reduce all the differences in England to an happy union, I doubt not but things will go well here, And our valiant Commander in chief hath a design by which he hopes to bring the Rogues low before Winter. Ordinary wheat is now (at Drogheda) at ten shillings a Barrel, and dearer at Dublin. But such care hath been taken for provisions here; that Dublin have got in all their Harvest; and that without danger, or interruption. The old Fox, Owen Ro-Oneale keepeth close with his Forces about Kilkenny, he is there at one House mending his Works, and taking in provisions, and will not fight but upon his own conditions, if he could get a great advantage perhaps he would make use of it, but before we come near him he Alarms his Forces to a withdrawing posture. And the Irish have no other considerable strength to depend upon. So that moneys coming first over to encourage our Soldiers, and then supplies of men and Equipage we have great hopes of a good forwardness in reducing th●se par●s in short time. So prays, Your Lordship's humble servant, WILL. MORE. Dublin the 1. of Sep. 1647.

SIR, THE Lord Inchequin, Lord precedent for this province of Munster was lately moved by his Officers about a Remonstrance which was occasioned by their hearing of some differences in England, between the City of London and the Army under his Excellency Sir Thomas-Fairfax and the distractions which they heard the Parliament to be in thereby, which his Lordship was much sorrowful to hear. But afterwards hearing that these differences were well appeased, and the Parliament sitting safe, the prosecution of the said Remonstrance was appeased, and his Lordship did pretty well satisfy his Officers therein. Yet they have again importuned his Lordship about moneys, being very earnest about their Arrears, and pressing him to send over for moneys to be speedily sent them. A party of the Rebels his Lordship heard were gathering to try if they could raise the Siege, but having notice of it he sent out a commanded party who fell upon the Rebels and defeated them, A list of the particulars whereof I have sent you enclosed, resting.
