COLONEL JOHN HLLL, 1691. 83
assure the King of his fidelity and resolutions for the future to serve his
Majestie to the vttnost of his power ; and I beleeue hee will be able to bring
in Keppoch, M'Laine, and Appin (if incouraged thereto). I pray your Lord-
ship assist him in any of his affaires. If the incouragement hee gets may
the better prevail with others to doe as he has done, I looke upon the worke
as done, the ice being now broken. It were well some allowance of tyme
were giuen beyond the first of January, to the end they may haue tyme to
setle. I expect more shortly to come in ; but wee shall neuer get the coun-
trey setle till wee haue a sherifdome as formerly, and all the sober people
are longing for itt. As more occurs, your Lordship shall haue account
thereof from, my Lord,
Your Lordships most humble servant,
•To. Hill.
I find orders giuen for men to come to this place, which will be exceed-
ing troublesome : and since Locheil is come in, and all the gentlemen [of] his
name haue sworne before not to rise in armes against the King and Queen
or Gouernment, there will [be] nothing to doe here ; and all Duke Gordons
tennents of the M'Lonalds in the Brae haue submitted, as doth also Bade-
noch ; soe that ther is none hereabouts to take course with but Keppoch, and
the men that follow him of M'Intosh tennents, and Glengary ; for there is
noe marching to Modiert and Knodiert or the Isles at this tyme. If Glen-
gary would haue been wise in tyme, hee might haue done well, but the forti-
fieing and keepeing out his house will ruin him ; but they are all upon his toes
for setlement, but [he] very imprudently let the tyme elaps. Glencowe men
wee can easily be alike with ; and the Appin people, except the laird and a few
of the broken men, are all for setlement ; but the ordors I haue I shall
obserue.
For the right honorable the Lord Viscount Tarbat.
