A letter is brought via messenger for the earl.

To the honorable Earl of Kildare,

I request your presence at Dublin Castle with all due haste.
The Peace in Ireland is at stake and I wish to consult you on these matters.
I suggest you travel with a large party in case you might encounter Irish Raiders.

Signed,
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
Lord John Talbot.
