File Clenennau Letters and Papers 29 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - John Wynn, Gwydir, to his cousin William Maurice, esq., Clenennau,

John Wynn's delay in answering William Maurice's letter was caused by the death and funeral of his uncle Owen Wyn. Encloses a certificate abridged to 200 trained men and as many untrained. Has put forward the bareness and distance of the dwellings in their part of the county as the reason for their training men by fifties where elsewhere 100 men are trained together. Their fall of 100 of the trainers he has attributed to death, decay and the pressing of people to serve in Ireland. If William Maurice agrees with the above, let him sign the certificate, together with a certain number of the justices of his limit; John Wynn will do likewise for his own limit. Otherwise let William Maurice change it as he sees cause, and upon good reason being shown John Wynn will be directed by him. John Wynn musters this week, the beginning of June, all the hundreds of his limit except Isgwyrfai, which he has put off until Monday 18 June. If William Maurice is at Carnarvon then, they may confer concerning the uniform order to be held in the service. None will be as 'bakward, unprovyded and untoward' as the justices of the peace and the gentlemen cessed to find horse. William Maurice may, if he wishes, direct all the horses of the shire to assemble there then, if he does so, let him warn John Wynn in order that he may do the same.
