File Clenennau letters and papers 426 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - John Gruffydd, Kevenamlwch, to his cousin and uncle William Maurice,

Was not at home at his messenger's return with William Maurice's letter. So he could not possibly accomplish the contents by sending any men by Monday night. Notwithstanding he sent presently abroad to apprehend such as were written for, as also such as he thought fit. But he could do no good, for the rumours went through the country that supplies must be had presently, whereupon such as were pressed and those that were fit to go were conveyed out of the way. Notwithstanding, his brother Madryn and he have sent one of Llanvihangel [Bachellaeth] and another of Bodvean, which he bound by recognizances to appear before William Maurice at Clenennau, and also one John ap Morgan of Llannor who was pressed by Richard Sayer who also was charged to come. Sends 40s. by the bearer according to William Maurice's letter. Could not well spare more at present because he disbursed certain money lately. As occasion serves he will not be defective.
