Reading edition
“The Plantations prove a most laborious work; I could not imagine their march had been so heavy.”—Wentworth to Charles, June 5, 1638. (Strafford Letters, II., 175.) In another letter he recommends that a body of cavalry should be sent into Connaught “as fit lookers-on whilst the plantations are settling.” Wentworth to Coke, August 10, 1638. (Ibid., II., 197-201.) For the influence of Lord Clanricarde in preventing the plantation, see Wentworth to Coke, May 18 and July 9, to Charles, July 9 and August 13, 1639, (Ibid., II., 340, 366-369, 381.)
