Donell Mc Carthie base brother to Florence's wife (who in the beginning of this rebellion was by the countrey ellected to be Mc Carty More, that is to be chief Lord of the countrey of Desmond; and displaced by Tyrone at his being in Mounster to erect Florence) hath made his humble submission, and accordingly beseecheth Her Majesty's gracious pardon, requiring no rewarde but such as his service shall merritt, promising faithfully that when I shall intend the proseqution of Florence, with the help of Her Majesty's forces, he hath good hope in a short tyme to banish him the countrey; his proffers I enterteine, and according the quallitie of his service have promised him to a meane to Her Majesty that she wilbe pleased to bestowe some porcion of that land upon him.
Divers reportes are made of Florence's son; some thatt he is gon into Spayne, others thatt he will go shortlie, and tothat effect I have a lettre of the White Knight, dated the 27th of the month that yf he be not gon alreadie yett he is resolved to go thether which makes me to hope (yf it be trew) thatt they begin to dispayre of Spaniards.
