Duke of the Miles Discontent and Scottish Army Movements
Fragment from a 17th century letter describing Argile the Duke of the Miles as discontented and plotting with Presbyterian allies. It notes an alleged plot by Hume Ca Stile and colonels Feswick and Sylers, soldiers in Timptollon Castle, and famine provisions from London. The text mentions a shipwreck near Bafs and Timotation, and a Kirk exhortation urging edinburgh brethren to avoid English contacts amid ongoing sufferings.
