Archbishop John Williams, at Gwydir, to his very loving friends and cousins Griffith Jones, Owen Griffith, Thomas Madryn, Arthur Williams, William Griffith, Thomas Wynne, and Hugh Griffiths, esq's. Although 'our' forces are all in a manner returned from Merionethshire where their number was more than could be justly expected from the county, and those better armed, considering their loss of arms in Denbighshire, than the writer could have believed, yet his correspondents will have daily occasions, even in complying with the commands of Lord Byron, to make use of their officers and ministers and the constables especially; and therefore the writer would advise them, being so many wise and discreet men in that corner of the county and such as have sufficiently proved their fidelity to the King and his cause, to take out of the hands of those officers or marshals pretending authority from Lord Byron all constables and officers which are hourly to be employed by his correspondents in the King's service unless they be such as they or any three of them find to be wilfully negligent of the King's service, until such time as the writer shall acquaint Lord Byron of the miscarriages of these persons and the great inconveniences which thereby may befall both the King's and Lord Byron's service in those parts. The writer has ever been of the opinion, and has often heard as much from Prince Rupert's own mouth, that the King has never granted to any person power to exercise marshal power upon anybody - merely on the soldiers; and, as his correspondents truly mention, that all other penalties on other subjects still remain in the commissioners and gentlemen in whom they are invested by the laws of the land. Lastly if they continue in their design to have a general meeting of the commissioners of array and of the peace and the prime gentry of the county at Bangor, which is a Bishop's see and about the middle of the county, the writer asks them to send this letter or a copy thereof attested by themselves to Sir John Owen, High Sheriff, desiring him in the Archbishop's name and his own to summon a meeting to that effect, issuing forth at the same time 6 or 7 copies of the summons to the several parts of the county and appointing the day of meeting six days after the date of the summons. Does not doubt that there will be such an appearance as the weightiness of the business requires, being a consultation upon the King's letters and other business concerning the preservation of their own country.
