Henry Egleton to William Blathwayt. I enclose several documents and records. At the Council's rising on the 13th October the Governor [Hender Molesworth] reminded them that the next day was the King's birthday [James II and VII], which was duly celebrated. The Governor reviewed the regiment, many of whom were in scarlet, which they had provided expressly for the day. The Governor entertained all the principal gentlemen and officers with a very sumptuous dinner; and in the evening the Governor's lady being waited upon by all the gentlewomen of quality, gave them a very fine treat, and afterwards entertained them at a ball, composed of a suitable number of masqueraders, very curiously habited, and variety of music, all managed with that admirable order as gave great beauty and grace to it. They continued dancing very late, but the streets shone with bonfires to light them home. |
