File Clenennau letters and papers 722. - William Griffith of Llyn, at Pwllheli, to Sir John Owen at Clenennau,

Is sorry that the weather together with the abundance of rain should be so excessive as to deprive him of kissing Owen's hands at Pwllheli. When the waters are laid and the weather more calm he will wait upon Owen at the place and time appointed. They may reasonably expect a summons from the deputy-lieutenants of the other end of the county to meet to consider several matters relating to the King's service. If any such come to Owen, asks for his commands by the bearer or some other. Sends by the bearer a merlin, as he supposes it to be, which if it be otherwise Owen will have to excuse an ignorant falconer. It came from Ireland with a single bell, and was taken to Aberdaron and kept there a fortnight with a worse falconer than the writer, where his train was broken and bruised. He hopes it will prove well. Services to Lady Owen and to his cousin William Owen who, as he is informed by the bearer, is with Owen.
