Title
PELHAM to the EARL OF SUSSEX.
Date
15 Dec 1579
Description

I thank you for your favorable letter.

Her Majesty takes offence at the proclamation against Desmonde. "I could better have liked that her Majesty should have converted her forces to the North, or to the reducing of Leixe and Offallie to the perfection wherein your Lo. left it, than to have made war upon any of the English nation. Nevertheless, the Earl had so far waded in the foreign practice of James FitzMorris and Doctor Sanders, as he thought it impossible to be reconciled to her Majesty's favours. Some report is come unto me that either he is dead or benumbed of his limbs by an extreme palsy, taken after the spoil of Youghall, which was betrayed by the townsmen unto him.

Droghda, 15 December 1579. Signed.
