Ffeil Clenennau letters and papers 179 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - 'Wensday 4 a clock in ye afternoone',

William Lloide, 'from Morgan Richardes house', to William Maurice, esq. His master [John Wynn] has sent him to deliver letters re a muster to William Maurice and the sheriff [Richard Vaughan]. Since William Maurice had gone to Caernarvon and the time of his return was uncertain, thought it best to go to deliver the same to the sheriff. Hopes to find William Maurice at home upon his return. If he had a good horse, would have ridden to Caernarvon, but decided to go first to Llyn in order to lose no time. Fifteen men are required from the county and the letters are addressed to the sheriff of Caernarfonshire, and to John Wynn and William Maurice, late deputy lieutenants; they are signed by the Queen. Another letter, from the Privy Council, [directs that] the men should be at Chester by 20 May. Intends to be with William Maurice tomorrow afternoon as soon as he can leave the sheriff. Postscript: Has no way to seal the letter.
