From Dnblin, October 11. The Natives of the Country
being now to be so sensible of the spoils made on them in
som parts by the Tories, that they made head against them,
slew divers, and brought their heads into Kilkenny. That
which most disgusts this people, is the work of transplanting,
and as no, great progress hath been made in it, so if it
were quite laid aside, and encouragement given to the Adventurers,
I am perswaded things would go on well here.
It hath pleased God to take away from us Col: Robert
Hammond, who came lately over to be one of the [unr]ncel

Fever attended with Convulsion fits.
