Ffeil 22075. - (Richard Hughes) to 'my Lorde' [ Montgomery],

This day the writer's answer, with the other defendants', was taken which was delivered to Michaell Parry of Poole to be carried up who will be therewith at London next week. Intends to return by Parry £100, the college rent. Finds that Sir Edmund Wiseman is concerned that money came not in faster. The country people in most places pay as well as they can. If this summer proves to be quiet he doubts not but to reduce the arrears. If they be distrained upon a sudden all for the same they will be totally ruined. 'Our' neighbours here are the very worst paymasters - most of them pretended friends. Gives their names and arrears. If Sir Edmund Wiseman send orders the writer will sue them. Draft.
