File Clenennau letters and papers 847 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - Jo(hn) Lloyd, at Edgeware, to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

Has just returned from their quarters at sweet Oxford where their squadron lies, and like all the rest the writer is providing for the campaign which will put them all hard to it - but it must be done. He will have to try all his friends to help out, and among these he has none he values more than Owen. He therefore begs Owen for his black gelding and an honest servant and offers either to buy the horse or have it on loan with a servant that will look after it so that Owen may be satisfied that it will be rightly ordered ... Honest Dr Sparkes acknowledges Owen's noble remembrance of him. If Owen intends to be in London at the time of the campaign and will accept of such quarter as this place affords, he can be assured that he will be no more welcome anywhere except Porkington. Service to his niece Ellen and Lady Owen. The writer is truly concerned at the loss of his very dear cousin - Owen's mother. Services also to all his dear cousins and Joan's also.
