Right Honourable Having hen bold to troble your Honor with sundry my former tedious lettres, and having receivid that contynuall favour att your hands as I cannot well tell howe to requite the same, yet never the lesse I shall and wilbe to the uttermoste of my power att your comandment, and therefore presuminge the more uppon the contynuance of your Honourable favour, I thought good to advertise you of certain rebellious attempts offred here lately by Daniell, the base son of the Earle of Clancarty who, within this moneth, by meanes of certein directons and advertisements of Florence Mac Cartyes sent hither very secreatlye unto him, as I understand, The said Daniell hath hanged a man belonginge to Mr. Nicholas Browne, and to his father [father-in-law. Browne had recently married Sir Owen's daughter; that is the daughter of O'Sullevan Beare, not of O'Sullevan Mór, Florence's brother-in-law] Sir Owen O'Sullevan, and hath also murthered one Patricke Garland, both good servitors, and besids geven two onsetts to kill Sir Owen is eldest son; and diuers other bad attemptes hath ben by him geven. His company is not great, not above fortie, and therefore the more dangerous, What mischiefes may ensue by him, to avoide tediousnes, I refer to your Lordship; but to be briefe with your Honor, I do assure you, yf the said Florence do once escape from thence, and have any scope, considering what practizes the said Florence formerly used with Daniell Graney, for his rebellions in Kinelmeaky, and delivering him his own weapon to attempt those bad enterprisses that he toke in hand, it cannot be, but that he will nowe run to fair more dangerous dealings, whereby may ensue chardges to Her Majestie, and great losse and ruine to this poore comonwealth; to which as I knowe your honor to beare a zealous favour, so with this smale caveat, taking my leave, I humbly betake the care thereof to your Honour, and your Honour to Goddes tuicion
