N ow this letter is of the greatest historical importance, for it proves generally what really did take place four years afterwards - the actual invasion of England by an army of many thousands of men. The letter is dated from Carisbrooke Castle, in which (it will be remembered) sixty-four years afterwards Charles the First, King of England was himself a prisoner, and if coincidences are worth anything, the letter is dated the fatal 30th of January, upon which day sixty-five years later (1648 - 9) that misled monarch was beheaded at Whitehall!
