File Clenennau letters and papers 435 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - John Wynn of Gwydir to his cousin William Maurice,

William Maurice wrote suggesting that he and the writer send jointly for armour, powder and munition and munition to John Wynn's cousin, Robert, to be by them equally discharged. Knew not that William Maurice had sent for the same. His cousin Robert has taken order that each should answer for what he took. Touching the powder mise that was ceased and in part collected, it covers so much powder Robert sent which is all discharged. The powder he sent came to three score and odd pounds whereof William Maurice is to pay £28. John Wynn has paid £33 or thereabouts - he cannot tell certainly until he sees the note, for William Lloyd is not at home. William Maurice knows what John Wynn has paid the muster master - the rest being collected and in his hands, which is under £20. Means to send this spring for more powder to that value so that one penny shall not remain in his hands. Refers to £100 spent between them on munitions. Is £110 short. Therefore marvels that William Maurice should ask the writer to pay £22.10.0 for him. It cannot be employed for the purpose William Maurice desires - only for powder - and shall so be answered to the last penny. John Wynn has laid out part of it for the dressing of the armour in his limit especially what time he is to receive his part of the rest of the powder. The rest of the money John Wynn did not receive until the powder 'was come to the Conway'. What he had received and the very days shall be laid down. Reminds William Maurice that when he was in Gwydir and desired the moiety of the mise to his own hands, John Wynn showed him where it was still uncollected and would have given him the notes to collect the other half, but William Maurice refused them and said that he would deal only with Eifion and Cymydmaen and wished John Wynn to take payment for the rest. This John Wynn has done, and therefore he greatly wonders why William Maurice should desire the money John Wynn gathered to pay for 'your munition and furniture'.
