Major General Morgan to General Monck

T. M.f. 14.Of late there hath nothing happened in these parts worthy your knowledge. Here hath bin a very sharpe winter with greate frost, soe that wee are necessitated twice a day to breake the ice to keepe our moates open. These forces since their coming over have endured very much hardshipp, and wee have lost very many by mortallity, soe that our number of English now both at Mardicke and Bourbourge amounts to about 3000. The ennemy are recruiting themselves, and give out that in the Spring they will attempt the regaining of this place, but I hope through God’s assistance wee shall be able to withstand them.
