File Clenennau letters and papers 741. - W. Spicer to Sir John Owen, Vice-Admiral or North Wales, at Clenennau,

In obedience to Owen's commands the writer has caused an (?)embargo to be made not only within Caernarvonshire but also within the whole of Anglesey where he has been in person though he had much ado to draw one about, and to his charges of a French crown. There are four vessels at Beaumaris, one at Cadnant, none at Bangor, one at Caernarvon. What is at Pwllheli, Conwy and Holyhead, time will discover. PS He hears that Mr Hill, Mr Robert Wynne and Mr Carecke have made bond with some of the timber lately found in Llyn. If all are sub-vice-admirals the writer is done with it, for he finds no purpose in spending his money, and others to receive the profit. He is willing to resign his commission.
