File Clenennau letters and papers 174 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - William Maurice, Clenennau, to [the Privy Council],

Has received from his cousin and associate John Wyn of Gwydir, deputy lieutenant, copies of the Lord Lieutenant's letters, the Queen's commission and the Privy Council's letters concerning the sending of a number of men from Caernarfonshire to Ireland for the Queen's service. John Wyn refuses to join with William Maurice in musters, but musters by himself to the hindrance of the Queen's service and the greater cost of the Queen and the county. But in performance of his duty, and so that the service should not be delayed and hindered, has sent to Chester seven men out of the fifteen appointed for the county. They are, he hopes, sufficiently equipped (at his own cost) and able men, as appears from the indenture signed by the captain and the mayor of Chester's certificate, which William Maurice encloses. Paid the coat and conduct money out of his own purse, the conduct being for five days and the journey sixty miles, and has received nothing from the mayor of Chester but was referred to the Council.
