File Clenennau letters and papers 432 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - William Maurice to John Wynn of Gwydir,

Will agree to no division for Her Majesty's service of musters. Sees not how it can be done 'for your doings ought to be also mine and mine yours'. Knows of neither commission, letters, direction, nor any other instrument which has given John Wynn or himself any limit. Therefore John Wynn is out of the way of good order and challenges over much privilege when he says that he will not meddle in the writer's limit. He speaks against Her Majesty's and the Lord Lieutenant's commission. William Maurice would not willingly do anything in John Wynn's absence, for he wishes his presence to join a company together. John Wynn's end of the country is more populous of serviceable men and greater by reason of the greater towns. John Wynn has objected to bringing men so far to Caernarvon, without thinking how far he brings men to Conwy, as though the case were altered. John Wynn has brought him examples from other shires, so he will bring to his correspondent the example of their next neighboring shire - Anglesey - where they do make the general assembly. Is quite sure that Sir Richard Bulkeley and his associates would as willingly spare the country as any other. Insists again that the commission is hound and not several.
