Mentions a previous visit from Colonel Huske, who Cadogan sent to Cambray to deliver money and information to Bourke. Writes "ever since Huske was herre, all my letters by orders of the comander was taken up because they seen mee conserve soe much with him It is with difficulty I can send you this...
