Irishmen and true subjects, of whatever rite!

I know many of your hearts will never be false to your King. Any of you disgusted by Lord Mountgarret's treachery - whether old nobility of the realm with no truck with radicals, Irish warriors true to your given word - will find a welcome reception at my camp in Oban.

For God and King Charles!

I look heartily forward to the bloody dance of this upcoming coronation.

Avowed by the Lieutenant to the only lawful monarch, King Charles,
