The enclosed receipt shows that the writer has received £100 from Mr Robert Ellis by recipient's appointment. The money it seems was that of one Evan Prichard who had sold some cattle to Ellis, who transferred the writer's receipt to Pritchard. Ellis desired him to signify this to the recipient.

Mr Speaker has excused Owen several times this session, and truly upon the last call of the House - having no letter from Owen or fresh matter to allege - he left to the writer. Owen must judge how narrowly 'you' escaped. However, the writer did make a shift to do it for which he was sufficiently reproached for an impudent fellow as the rogues called him, for they said that Owen drank as hard in the country as the writer did in town. But the enclosed will inform Owen that the House is now in earnest - and thinks it his duty to tell Owen that it will be morally impossible for his friends to excuse his absence at the next call - viz the 14th. Wishes him a good journey. PS ... badly torn ... to celebrate the day with ... ken the Coach for himself ... Mr Devereux.

Has this day received £48 by Owen's order by the hands of Mr Hugh Jones upon account of Mr Henry Griffith. Is the more grateful for it since it comes at a time of disappointment. The King is not yet landed as far as they know. Wishes Owen a good journey when he moves that way.

Thanks Owen for the hope he gives him of receiving that small 'driblet' on Owen's return from Merionethshire. Hopes he will be punctual to his promise for this once, otherwise the writer will be 'broke'. Mr Jon. Langley - whom they saw together at his house near Salop - lodges near the writer: he has returned from Barbadoes with effects, they say, worth near £20,000.

If she had anything worth her Ladyship's notice she would not have been so long silent; or had the writer's poor muse been able to lift up her head something might have been sent to employ her Ladyship's attention to a minute's impertinence. But the news of the peace - as it's now jumbled together - is as effectual a prevention of her mirth and nonsense as the malt tax is of guzzling good fellowship, and however glad she is that sighs - an instrument she often plays upon - or cannot be conveyed in a letter, and good humour she is no more master of than good sense. Sir Robert is well - very well - and looks as well or rather better than ever. Her Ladyship's pretty little one is in extraordinary health. Miss Betty has drawn a picture which pleased Sir Robert. They are to fall very hard to their French tomorrow. Madame Ellen - who asked the writer to send to her Ladyship - and Madame Jane are well. Mr. Fowles is at Gwersyllt or Chester: Mr. Willcox has gone to bed with a sprinkling of the gout. The writer's black damsel - her mare - is out of order being lame. PS Respects to Mr. Thomas Wynne if her Ladyship should see him, and he is to be told that the writer is impatient to go to Shrewsbury.

When she receives this letter, he supposes she will have returned from Bodidris where Sir Evan moved although he told the writer he would go the next morning to Croydon on Thursday last. The latter has used the writer very oddly in the whole affair: God mend him! The Lords have been these last three days (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) on a great affair between Lord Abingdon's son and Lord Falkland's mother, one Madam Cary. That being over he hopes Lord Godolphin will on Monday next get their petition read and their former order explained. Hopes to be home as soon as possible. God bless the kids!. PS The writer's representations to the Kt on the matter.

The writer has been ordered by Lady Owen to acquaint Mostyn that Sir Robert Owen has appointed him, Sir John Wynne, Mr Pugh of Mathavarn, Mr Ellis Lloyd, Lady Owen and the writer as trustees of the will.. Wishes to arrange a meeting. Reply appended. There are few men more concerned for the loss of Sir Robert Owen than the writer. Is troubled that he ... pay his last duty, but was just then returned from London and did not know the time of the burial until it was past. Wishes Lady Owen or Sir John Wynne to fix a time for a meeting of the trustees, and the writer will wait upon them at the least notice.

Refers to Cousin's Glynne's earlier communication (No. 953). Sir John Wynne continues at some distance for a considerable time. She gives him notice of this lest he be confined contrary to his occasions too long near home. Begs leave to trouble him with another summons later.

Owen may wonder why he should pester him with paper when the writer talked with him so lately but when the tenderness of a man's speaking of his own affairs is considered, such silence may be very excusable ... Asks leave to deal plainly and tell Owen how money may be raised without being balked - if he will engage Granger of the Sun Tavern in Westminster with himself all may be done. Pardon the freedom.

Is sorry to write what Owen may be vexed to read: an unlucky damned conjunction of bad accidents forces the writer to lie at present so wary that nobody knows nor can know yet where he is. He is plagued with nothing more than the business of Hastings which has caused other mischiefs, for if touch could have been kept with him the faults might have been all recovered. Knows Owen is friend enough to wish him well and is confident that he will be tender of reputation to the writer and scatter no words which may disadvantage him. Hopes too that Owen will forgive and keep secret what inconveniences he has suffered for the writer's sake.

The writer cannot paint his joy in Owen's letter. As Owen's obligations to him are of the highest nature so shall the writer's gratitude be proportionably great as long as he breathes. He could run on for ever about the matter. But as he writes from Cambridge he must acquaint Owen how he came there. Having some dependence on the Burlington family they have sent him down to Lord Hinghingbrook in order to travel two years with him. They have pretty good appointments and as times go it is one of the best employments, for though they are not to live in the greatest splendour the writer will at least be in credit and out of want. Besides it may be of good consequence to him since it turns not out of the way of physic. For the present he is there at a better certainty though not without plague enough and he expects more with 'him' abroad. Owen knows his father, the Earl of Sandwich, is whimsical and this is his heir way. But bread must be laboured for and the writer has already suffered so much that he would fain be a little at ease. Is satisfied to hear things related of Owen are in every way to his reputation. The writer is prepared to be serviceable to Owen on this side or beyond the seas. Hopes he will not be long there before going to Italy with his 'cub'. Asks to know how happy Owen is in his domestic enjoyments. He stayed but a few days in London and saw none but honest Fishar Dilke of the old stock of acquaintance. The writer's respects to Dr. Barber if he be still in that part of the world.

Today received his correspondent's favour of 19th June. He needs no quickening for the discharging of his debts as soon as ever he can. Has £1,800 due to him in the Treasury ... but he is afraid he will not be able to clear his debts before the winter. He laments the loss of the friend mentioned in Owen's letter although he was not named. That thing called a friend is too rare a blessing that it cannot be too much cherished while it is enjoyed and not too much regretted when taken away: but what is more cruel is to see friends die to 'us' whilst alive. He fancies all the good ones have retired amongst the Rocks of Snowdon for he sees few left in the world.

His only news is that Lord Willoughby is captain of the horse in Denbighshire instead of Sir John Salisbury. If he had not accepted it Sir Evan would have been pitched upon to serve the King in that place. Mr Rowlands and his Lady are well. The difference between Mr Richard Middleton and 'my Ladie' is referred, the writer hears, to the Bishop of Oxford. Presents his humble services to Lady Owen and Madam Ellen.

Suggests that Owen sends a fee to Sir John Trevor. Mr Thelwall can serve Owen no further than by drawing a bill or answer and giving you an account of what conveyances were executed by the father-in-law. But Sir John is well heard at all bars, and the writer would not have him against Owen. But tua res agitur - the writer only proposes it. Their friend the Doctor who has paid off several debts is still uneasy under the college obligation. He says that Owen was generously pleased to promise to be bound for a sum of money which he is confident he will pay off in two years. If Owen is still of the same kind intention, the writer can get the money. But he would not dare propose Owen as security until he had it from himself. The writer need say no more to the Doctor's pupil for whom the Doctor has the greatest honour of all men living. PS If Owen will engage for £100 he will make him a clear man. The writer does as much consideratis considerandis.

The writer was advised by private counsel that Owen's offers were not fit to be proposed to 'my Lord St', but that a buck would have been more acceptable. A choice buck was accordingly presented to his Lady in Lady Owen's name with a letter as from her, a copy of which Owen will receive from Mr Roberts. How well it was resented Owen will find by the letter from her Ladyship. The writer will not trouble Owen about the 'hobbie' horse since Bartholomew Fair is so near, where he may be furnished with one that may carry him to the King's Head Tavern, Bell Yard, and Hercules Pillars, and if not he is resolved to go on foot. The £100 that was in Lent expected, the writer has at last a bill of exchange to receive it. Mr Holding's bond is sent with the bearer.

Desires him to bring an action against Antony David Lloyd for wrongful detaining of a bond which he conceals from them: and also an action against Lloyd for a 'ffethment' which she keeps from Robert Lloyd. She will send as much money as is requisite. Anthony David Lloyd confessed that he had a copy of the said 'fethment' from 'Gwern Emgarne'.

Dear child. Has received her letter concerning the (hat?). Thinks she had better let alone, for summer is almost done and winter is coming and then she must wear her hood. They will have time to consider it before next summer. She is sorry to hear that she wears not well. She is to be as merry as she can. Hopes she is well used and does not long. Sweetheart has always been a good and careful child and her mother hopes she will continue so and make the best use of her time. Her father is not yet come home. Brother Robert is very proud of her letters. She need only write to him sometimes otherwise she will put him to charges. Her mother has not seen Robert since Whitsuntide because there was smallpox at Evan Jones's house. Has she had leave to go to the King's chapel and has she seen the King and Queen? If Captain Challinor is in town he will get her leave.

Is joyful to hear of Robin's good health. At present she is pretty well but was last week very ill. She prays God to fit and prepare her for Him. Desires nothing more in this world than to hear of Robin's settlement, and prays God to bless his endeavours and give them a happy end to his contentment and to the comfort of his poor mother. Thanks him for his care in settling his sister Francis and his brother Will. Asks him to let Will go over before winter. Begs him to think of his father's last words to him. PS Thanks him for the things he sent her: she is sorry that he went to such great charges.

She is truly glad that Owen has made no application for the membership and would rejoice more should he declare his desire to live at home in peace and quietness: that would avoid expenses so that he could then satisfy necessary occasions which are in a perplexed posture and need much patience and frugality to bring into a right state. If he does not so do she cannot give him a prospect of tranquillity. The clamorous demands that daily arrive there will not be silenced without that effectual remedy. Her sister Owen has done very kind things for Owen's case, which to name were needless and since not regarded must breed an uneasiness which only Owen has power to allay. She dares to say that Owen could remove it if he be pleased with a just sense of his condition, consulting each other with methods which may be conducive to making it easy for both and their children whose education and provision is a concern that requires the utmost care. The writer finds fear to be wanting, but when a prospect of that can be shown Owen can be assured of the peace he looks for - no love being wanting on her sister's side or condescension to live below what her very ample fortune might modestly challenge and which would become Owen to provide for her as a gentleman and an honest man. Owen's shoes and waistcoat have been sent. Mr Evans must send the key of the press which was unhinged to take them out of it. Owen's horse is poor and weak. There is inquiry for pasture which wants setting which cannot be done without Owen's approbation. PS If her brother does not wear the frieze coat now he is to return it. He is to give cousin Wynne notice when he returns and allow Mr Evans to set out the day before so that he may be the same night at Bala to attend Owen. Someone else with a horse should carry his portmanteau.

Most dear Wife. Has written to her divers times, but doubting of the receipt, since she sent him no answer, he once more ventures to write and to tell her of the misfortune he had before Bristol where he was unfortunately shot through the right side of his nose, out under the left ear, through all the jugular veins and mouth, and did bleed extremely so that everybody thought he had been choked. But good God be praised he is in pretty good state if it does not turn into a fever. Hopes to recover his bodily health shortly, but his wound will be long. Her son has put him unto charge for he has seldom been well since he came thither to Owen. 'I have nothine to send unto thee nor thy daughters for I cannot stirr abrode.' The King coming yesterday to Bristol and passing by the army and seeing Owen's colours asked Prince Rupert whose they were, who answered that they were Owen's: the King turned his horse suddenly and called to one of Owen's officers who came to him. 'I hope in God your Colonel is not dead': 'Noe and please your Majesty he is some thinge dangirously hurte': 'I praise God for his life and desir is recoverie'. This was spoken before all the court and army which is sufficient for any soldier and a great favour from a king in the field. 'Before Owen left Oxford the King gave him the place of Vice-Admiral of North Wales and it carried in spite of all opposition. Dear heart 'fare thee well'. PS Services to his cousins of Brynkir, Stymllyn and Wern, and all about: to Mr Ellice, Griffith Ellice, Robert ap Rees, Ellice Maurice and Braich y Bib, and they of Trevan. Asks to be commended to 'Jammy baich'.
