Discusses previous correspondence related to a Jacobite plot (refer to other items in the GLC01450.446 collection). Mentions the unreliable nature of sending information through the post, and promises Bourke a pension he previously requested in return for information he supplied Cadogan regarding Jacobite treason. States that he will send his aide-de-camp, Colonel Huske, to Cambray to deliver Bourke's money. Mentions treasonous letters Bourke previously discovered between lords in England and Mr. Sheldon (possibly Dominick Sheldon). Promises Bourke that no one should question Huske's presence in Cambray, since he will be there under the pretense of conducting business with the Archbishop of Cambray. Bourke had already sent a letter on November 18 informing Cadogan that his information was false (refer to GLC01450.446.08).
