Ffeil Clenennau letters and papers 441 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - Owen Thomas Owen, Pencoed, to his uncle, William Maurice,

Has received the letter, and for performance of William Maurice's will therein, he shall understand that touching Owen's new brother-in-law [as William Maurice was told by mouth at Clenennau] the writer was once, as he thought, at a reasonable point with him. Owen agreed to assign him a certain portion in such sort as he could conveniently do, without any great hindrance to himself. Could not do this until certain small debts had been satisfied. His brother-in-law seemed well pleased with this as Robert Lloyd can testify. Whereupon he desired, and Owen yielded, that he might receive the benevolence of the writer's tenants, and thereupon each of them gave somewhat 'for which I have accordingly thanked and must hereafter acknowledge'. Has bargained a tenement accordingly to some loss as William Maurice shall hear when they meet at Conwy. Asks that all the writings William Maurice has touching the same shall be brought.
