Reading edition
The Duke of Lorraine’s supplies reached Ireland in March 1651, Spicilegium Ossoriense, i. 368; Bellings to Ormonde, April 10, 1651, in Confederation and War, vii. 370; Clanricarde Memoirs, April-October; intercepted intelligence from Madrid, May 20, and from Rome, May 22, in Milton State Papers, p. 67. According to the Aphorismical Discovery, ii. 153, French’s letter was written early in July (more probably the end of June, since the agreement inspired by it was of July 2). In Carte’s Original Letters are several from Nicholas commenting on the Duke of Lorraine’s proceedings. Dean King’s report to Charles II., April 1, 1652, in Contemp. Hist., iii. 301; Nicholas to Hyde, April 4, 1651, in Nicholas Papers.
