Letter from Arthur Capell, Wrexham, to the sheriff and commissioners of array for the county of Merioneth,

The enemy was advancing with all the power of the rebels in the counties of Chester and Stafford, which forces, which had come from Lancashire, were now at Wenn and about Ellesmere in Shropshire. They were 'there making a body of Men to enter Northwales and robbing and spoyling his Ma[jes]tes Loyall subiects in Shropshire'. More men were needed to encounter them. The sheriff, the commissioners and the gentry of the county were desired to raise and send one hundred 'ffire men' or more to guard the frontiers. They were to march to Wrexham with all possible speed 'ffor that the Aproach of the Enemye is hourely expected'.

Letter from Arthur Spry, from Westminster,

He had perused certain papers relating to the manors and lordships purchased by Sir Francis Crane from the crown for £4000 under a fee farm rent of £243.8.21/2. Some lands had been lost or concealed as the rents paid were now some £30 or £40 short of the fee farm rent. The lordships were of great extent, the tenants numerous, royalties large, heriots considerable, etc. the recipient could make a better judgement on the validity 'off our title' than he himself could. Mr. Witherington and he could not agree. Did recipient wish to deal for Richard Arundell's moiety of the inheritance and two or three parts in -------- of the rest and the lease of the whole of Bewchamp's assignment. What would he give for it. What would he give for the whole lordship, manor and royalties, etc.

Letter from John Parry, Coedmarchan --------,

Would recipient acquaint Sir Richard Middelton that the writer's father desired him to be very sparing in his offers to Mr. Hoblin concerning the lordship of Ruthin. Mr. Hoblin had six parts in ten, of which his predecessor, Mr. Arundell, had purchased one for £100. Sir Richard should receive a long narration of the whole concern before long.

Letter to Mr. Williams of Chester,

He supposed the affair had not been 'Accomodated' because Sir Robert Cotton and Lady Salusbury could not agree what each should pay. The rent and arrears were due but it was not up to him to apportion it. No doubt it appeared in their family writings what rent was due, when it was last paid, and what lands were charged with it. Draft.
