Ffeil NLW MS 465E/393. - Letter from Simon Thelwall at Plasward to John Wynn of Gwydir, sheriff of Denbighshire,

Recommends the bearer as gaoler, who is careful, vigilant and able to give good security; which the writer knows by his carriage while in the place of gaoler for this Lordship; during which he has been free of complaint from the steward who trusts him with the place. He can find 8 or 10 sufficient freeholders of £20 or £30 lands. Was persuaded that Wynn would choose Denbigh to settle his gaol in, rather than Ruthin, but the writer's brother, Edward Wynn, said that Wynn was indifferent in the matter.
