Note 169 — Chapter XXXII · CROMWELL IN IRELAND, 1650

Reading edition

Cromwell to Lenthall, February 15, 1649-50, and to Bradshaw, March 5, in Carlyle; also letters in the Supplement, pp. 54-56. In the articles for the surrender of Fethard (No. 55) it is stipulated that the garrison might retire to ‘any place within his Majesty’s quarters.’ When Cromwell signed this, he either did not notice the draftsman’s expression, or thought it did not matter. For Enniscorthy see Whitelock’s Memorials, p. 437.
