Visited military camp in County Tipperary commanded by General [John] Irwin (1728-1788) and later [John] Burgoyne (1722-1792). "I have been at the place the moarning they left that place for America; the last fight I saw commanded by Burgoin as a Sham Battle, Burgoin was takin prisoner by a granidier, but all was well with him till he came to America, then he was taken in earnest."
