The document contained these words: Trouble is brewing; indeed, it is at hand.

Come, please, at once to Dublin, and give the Lord-Lieutenant and the Government a report upon your district.

We do not hear altogether well of it, but no one has the knowledge you possess.

In the name of His Majesty you are to present yourself at once at these offices in Dublin, and be assured that the Lord-Lieutenant will give you warm welcome through me.

Your own loyalty gives much satisfaction here.
