Letter to their cousin Sir Nicholas Kemeys from his 'unaminous kinsmen'. The general tenor is obscure and difficult to read, but it contains references to the expected return of Lord Herbert of Raglan from a hazardous journey, the latter's favourable encounter with the King and to the despatch to the Marquis of Hertford of a commission to be delivered to Lord Herbert. Endorsement that the letter was for his most honoured cousin Sir Nicholas Kemeys, bart, high sheriff for Monmouthshire, and for his most honoured cousin John Awbrew [?Awbrey], esq., high sheriff of Glamorgan, with a note to Sir Nicholas stating 'if you will not believe me I pray look up in the inclosed list where you will find yourself ranked warm in the middest of the whole body of the Sheriffs for the Kingdom'. Sir Nicholas Kemeys was, however, not made a bart till 1642 and was sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1632, while John Awbrey was sheriff of Glamorgan in 1634. There is also a PS that the writer would be 'exceeding glad to hear that Lord Herbert is safely come home'.
