From Coppenhaguen in Denmarke, September 17.
On the 7 of this month there were Ten of our men of Warr
set forth out of Elsenore to enter the Baltick Sea, but there is
no talk here of setting out any more. But all the care now is
to strengthen our selves by land during these doubtfull times of
Warr and trouble, not knowing which way the storm may next
be driven. I beleeve we shall muster about ten or 12000 of our
Militia. The Sieur Christian Ulrick is gone towards the coast
of Intland, to make a Rendezvous of 5000 men which are there
ready to march, and orders are given out for the fortifying of
our Frontire places.
