Discusses previous correspondence between Bourke and Cadogan regarding Bourke's discovery of a Jacobite plot in Cambray, France (refer to previous letters in the GLC01450.446 collection). 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... " Writes that he told Huske previous correspondence was between Cadogan and Bourke's brother (possibly Ulick Bourke), and gave Huske a false address for his brother. Informs Cadogan (again) that information he received regarding a Jacobite invasion of England was false.
