Peters letter to William Lenthall


 * Sir, the truth is, Drogheda is taken, three thousand five hundred and fifty-two of the enemy slain, and sixty-four of ours.
 * Colonel Castles and colonel Symonds of note.
 * Ashton, the governor, killed, none spared; we have also to Trym and Dundalk, and are marching to Kilkenny.
 * I came now from giving thanks in the great church. We have all our army well landed. I am yours,
 * Dublin, Sept. 15th.
