Title
PELHAM to the LORD CHANCELLOR of IRELAND (SIR WILLIAM GERRARD).
Date
29 Dec 1579
Description

I think you are not at Court, as I have not received any letters from you in this last paquet, and as I see myself in her Majesty's letters utterly condemned, and have not at Court any friend to defend me. If the cause of my disgrace grow from this, that Ormond was unaptly chosen to be General, I hope you will avow that it was a course intended and promised by the Lord Justice that dead is (Drury), consented to by all the Council here, and subscribed by yourself, and the patent sealed and delivered before your departure. I am now commanded to enter into that action in Munster. If you have disposition to return at all, your presence will be most requisite before I depart westward.

Dublin, 29 December 1579. Signed.
