Thanks him for a present of six cheeses, the best he has tasted for a long time, which argue well for the goodness of the soil and for Lady Wynn's fine housewifery. Alludes to a disagreement between his sister [Lady Cave] and Sir John concerning the non-payment of her daughter's portion.

Announcing the safe arrival of Sir John's son Robert. Has appointed Mr Holt, MA, as tutor. The new scholar brought bed and bedding, but they will provide books and clothes from London. Advises Sir John to send to Cambridge by way of London, whence carriers go weekly to Cambridge. Note: Dr Owen Gwyn [Wynn] was admitted as 18th master of the college in 1612.

In relation to the placing of Sir John's son Owen with a merchant. Has entreated Mr Jeffreys to acquaint Sir John as to the man's estate and trade, which is largely in wool and cloth.

Sir Richard Bulkeley has brought a Bill against the writer, in the Court of Requests, for breaking open his brother Thomas's cabinet after his death, and taking out divers great diamonds, jewels, coined gold, rings with diamonds and other things, as well as certain writings (amongst them a deed of mortgage of land in Caernarfonshire), and for embezzling the same and delivering them to Sir John Wynn; all of which the writer utterly denies.

A discourse or narration [in Sir John Wynn's autograph] showing 'how and in what sort the town and ffrith of Doluthelan came to my house, and how they passed from hand to hand', for the purpose of drawing up an answer to the bill of complaint of cousin John Wynn, in the Exchequer Chamber. Mentions his uncle Robert Wynn of Conwy, the plaintiff's father.

On behalf of a Mr Morrice, parson of Llanyckil, who is charged with being an actor and principal encourager in a brawl perpetrated by Ellis Price, the writer's uncle, and others, whom Sir John has served with an order for appearance in the Star Chamber.

Instructions for placing a bill in the Star Chamber in the matter of the murder of the clergyman. [See NLW MS 9053E/509-510]. Desires cousin Panton's advice. Prays Lewys to help him in settling the business between Sir John's brother Edward and Robin Thomas. They are both his friends and he would have them agree.

Has conferred with Mr Read in the matter of Sir John's indisposition, and directed the same to prescribe for him by letter, and will send Read next week to Gwydir, if Sir John pleases. Overleaf are directions by Alexander Read to Sir John Wynn with regard to medical treatment.

Concerning a lease of lands in Bettws.

Relative to medical treatment. Sends the julep. Found enclosed, in Sir John's last letter, a brief schedule to Sir Thom[as] W[illiams] (with Sir Thomas's answers on the back thereof), wherein Sir John desires Sir Thomas's aid in making the julep prescribed by the writer in a former letter. But, because Read perceived therein a love of self, disdain of others and a censuring humour, he will briefly examine every point of Sir Thomas's answers, for it seems he takes occasion presumptuously to examine the writer's recipe, saying that Sir John's country will not furnish the samples. There is agrimony everywhere in due season, yea, hart's tongue and maiden-hair about Denbigh Castle. The writer would have Sir Thomas know, firstly, that he will use none of their ineffectual old simples to one of worth, and secondly that he will be taught by no apothecary in England. Would counsel Sir John to send to London for Myrobalani Kebuli preserved. The Straits merchants bring them and sell them for 5s.

His father's best course is to compound with the widow's friends in the country rather than be compelled to do so by my Lord Treasurer. Other particulars in the same matter. Sends a sword, by the bearer, which belonged to the King, who often wore it and bestowed it on a gentleman, who in turn gave it to the writer. The blade is as good as that worn by any man in England, and worth making much of.

Money concerns. Mr Panton would move Mr Justice Barker, on behalf of Sir John's sons, before seeing my Lord Chancellor, and will put Mr Bodvel in the commission of the peace for Anglesey.

Eight justices of the peace for this county are dead within this year. Is surprised at the difficulty cousin Panton makes about getting in Sir John's sons, for it is usual for both father and son to be in the commission, as in the case of the Glynnes, Griffiths, Mostyns and Hanmers. Desires Lewys to do his best to get them both in.

The commission for the confirmation of defective titles is not yet renewed . When impediments in the conveyance of land in the Principality are removed, none will be able to grant lands except in the Prince's name, who is to have a grant of all those within the Principality. Mr Panton has moved my Lord Chancellor concerning Sir John's son, and John Bodvel, his son-in-law, whose father is on the commission. My Lord will not put father and son together in the same county without certificate from the justices of assize. Mr Panton thinks the business cannot be effected without Justice Barker's certificate.

Thomas Edwards moved my Lord Chancellor not to appoint Bodvel as sheriff of Anglesey, informing him that he was a young man and no 'housekeeper.' Mr Panton, being present, and having formerly informed my Lord that young Bodvel was a house-holder, was asked why he informed the Lord Chancellor of an untruth; who answered that he had Sir John's letters for his warrant . My Lord then said that that was most likely to be true, and so young Bodvel was pricked. Mr Panton will do what he can to have young John Wynn and Mr Bodvel in the commission of the peace for Caernarfonshire.

Money matters. Sends Panton's promised reward of £10 for getting his son and his son-in-law Bodvel into the commission. Complains that Panton is discontented with him for what he did in the cause between Hugh Panton and David Holland.

Understands from Sir John's letter that the company of horse is defective, both in number and equipment, because divers gentlemen, with great estates in Caernarfonshire, are excused from their charges on the score of residence elsewhere. Desires, therefore, to be informed whether these gentlemen (such as Sir Richard Bulkeley, Sir Thomas Mostyn and the rest) have hitherto been charged within that shire, according to the custom of the country and to former usage. In which case, he desires that the proportion shall be continued, if not augmented. Approves of the extension of time given by Sir John to those defective in armour.

With regard to a misunderstanding which has arisen between them. Maintains his innocence in the matter and concludes with expressions of friendship.

Orders in the Court of Wards and Liveries in a suit between Sir Richard Bulkeley, the younger, and Dame Mary Bulkeley, respecting a house and lands called Barnehill [Baron Hill].

Particulars of law-suits with William Bould, Sir Richard Bulkeley and John Wynne. William ap Hugh David ap Harry has appeared through his son, who is a minister in London, who exclaimed mightily to the Court of the wrong Sir John has done his father in suing him without cause and imprisoning him for cutting Sir John's woods and trees at Ruge. With regard to the note of seizures against Sir John for false and insufficient returns of the King's writs when he was sheriff, the writer has searched Mr Fanshaw's and Mr Osborne's offices, but cannot find when the same were imposed on him. Auditor Hanburie is dead and there is no access to the book until a new auditor is sworn. The Pipe Office is not open in the spring. Advises Sir John to compound for the amerciaments laid upon him, as Mr Bodvel did for his father 20 years ago.
