My Lord.
Understanding last night of a mobb designed against those of the Episcopall partie at their sermon this day; I ordered the Regiment to be at armes on the first call; after being in Church ane quarter of ane hour the alarme was given that the Mobb was at Sir John Bells Lodging wher their meetting was being desired by the provest to assist him; I ordered the Regiment to March there; and all that I could doe was but hindering the rable from Murdering those in Sir John Bells house; This I thought in duty oblidged to acquaint your Lordship of I am. My Lord your Lordships most humble and obedient Servant Sic Subscribitur Kilmares. Dated Thus Glasgow 7 March 1703.
