Note 211 — Chapter XXXIV · CLANRICARDE AND IRETON, 1651
Reading edition
Ireton’s letter of July 15 in Sad News from Ireland, ut sup.; Ludlow’s Memoirs, i. 274-6; Diary in Contemp. Hist., iii. 241, where the abortive propositions for surrender are given. As Ireton suspected, greatly exaggerated reports of the repulse at Limerick were circulated in England, see for example Lord Derby’s letter in Cary’s Memorials, ii. 287.
