Writ in a suit between Hugh ap [..] and David ap Thomas ap Rees the elder and Elizabeth, his wife, concerning lands in Broniarth, 1599.

It was on a Sunday in the afternoon that his colonel, Owen's deceased uncle, gave the writer a grant of a croft that lies adjacent to the writer's barn against the will of the Colonel's lady who was for Gabrell Edwards to continue tenant thereof, who held other crofts from the Colonel, which the Colonel declared was in respect of the writer's fidelity and good service. He said so in his parlour before Mr John Hanmer, Mr John Kynaston, Mr Richard Wynne, Mr Edward Evans, Mr James Blodwell, Mr Thomas Hanmer and Thomas Davies of Selattyn. When the writer required a lease in writing, the Colonel said 'Thou dost not mistrust mee and I am sure thou wilt not mistrust Will Owen, youre ffather meaninge'. The grant was for life, and the Colonel added that after the writer's death, it would yield him and his 40s. 'which I lett you have for 5 nobles dureinge life'. The writer has since allowed his brother-in-law to enjoy the same, and the writer has also since the grant been instrumental in saving Owen's renowned grandfather much money and trouble as Owen's Aunt Anwyl and Morris Griffith, then his servant, can inform him. Asks to be allowed to enjoy the croft according to the Colonel's intent. He will not contend with Owen, but supposes that some of the witnesses may still be living. PS Thinks that Mrs Carew may be able to remember the same.

Feels he must write, having a convenient messenger, although his cousin Williams writes of everything in particular. Has delivered the nag to cousin Williams and all the letters. The letter to Morris Wynne was delivered, and the latter told him he would endeavour to get him a place where he would better his hand a little. Has delivered his father's letter also to Robert Owen who said that he would be very glad to get him a place next term, because one can hardly get a place in vacation time. But the writer would rather have some lean place in the Court to begin with, hoping thereby to come to preferment. Would like to know whether his father would like him to board with his cousin Williams, or else abroad as he does now. Would gladly have some money to buy meat, for little will serve him. His father must not doubt that he will be as sparing as possible: and as for his father's three last advices, he hopes never to break them.

According to his father's desire when the writer departed from Dol-y-moch, he has conferred with Mr Rowland Vaughan about the business. Seems to be willing that Wynne, sen., should be bound for a £100 to Margaret verch William. Vaughan is writing to him about the matter. The resolution of marching is still continued because of the importunity of letters from the Archbishop of York and others. Men and arms are expected ftom 'your' parts, together with provisions for six days' march. 'I pray bee pleased to send for the drum from the Castle, and send it together with the carabine from Tanybwlch.'.

Asks Owen to hear the grievance of an honest fellow, Thomas ap Richard, who is the writer's very good friend and a tenant of Mr Vaughan's of Corsygedol. He has been cheated of a pair of oxen by Mr Blodwell, a neighbour of the recipient's.

The writer's tenant has been served with a declaration of ejectment for the lands of Lecheiddior by the directions of Mr Griffith who it seems pretends title thereto. She knows that the writer's brother, her late husband, warranted them to him, and therefore she and the writer's niece now become liable under the covenants then made. He encloses the declaration so that she can take care to defend the title, for he will be at no charge therein.

He understands that assurances on Kylla and Pedeister are mistaken, for they are passed in Ardudwy Is-Artro, whereas Mr Morgan's note of agreement did assume to pass those gavells in Llanfihangel and Llandecwyn being in Ardudwy Uwch-Artro. If it be so, desires Price to hold the bond with him until such time as they may have his advice and that of others in the matter. Price's answer subscribed. Thinks that Mr Morgan has no meaning but good towards Wynne. Has looked through the assurances and has found it to be Is-Artro where he thinks there be several of Mr Morgan's patents: but the writer thinks it is good enough. He has not the patent with him, but thinks the statute helps such misprisions in patents. Having seen Robert Edwards, he acquainted him with it and told him that they should be well advised of it.

Whereas Sir John Owen of Clenennau was by a party of the North Wales troop brought prisoner to the garrison of Beaumaris where he has continued under restraint for the space of three weeks and upwards, these are to certify that upon the Lord Protector's special order and command Sir John Owen has been released.

Having received the long schedule, finds William Maurice and his friends far charged; encloses the particulars. Knows William Maurice will do by him as he would wish William Williams to do in his place. Some say William Maurice has or is looking for a Privy Seal. If it does not come in time, expects William Maurice to do by William Williams as he did by the last sheriff, namely to enter into a bond to appear before Mr Auditor and to satisfy him, so that William Williams may present his account. Wishes to know William Maurice's will herein by his friend Mr Bailiff. Will sent Nicholas to William Maurice to see this done, and trusts to receive an answer befitting William Maurice's situation. Is ready to show William Maurice every favour and courtesy.

Has had a message brought by word of mouth by a foot-post (which he thought strange in regard he had it not in writing) concerning a son of Wynne's whom the latter intends sending to London. He is doubtful whether it be so or not, but if any such thing is intended, he will make any endeavour in his power for any child of Wynne's provided that he be not so stubborn a nature as his cousin Elize was. Complains of his uncle - William Lewis Annwyl - for his ill-dealing in not paying him the money he laid out for his son, though he twice faithfully promised when he was in London to satisfy the writer before he went out of town. Desires Wynne to move Annwyl on his behalf. He also lent his cousin, Robert, Wynne's eldest son, 37/- when he was in London which he never has received. Entreats him to make much of the messenger being a courtier. The strangest news has come to court: lately thirty-two cities have been swallowed by up an earth-quake in Calabria, a province within the kingdom of Naples in Italy.
