File Clenennau Letters and Papers 37 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - Anne [Dudley, Countess of] Warwick, at the Court, to her friend William Morrice, esq,

Has joined William Morrice with some of her friends in commission for dealing with the tenants relating to the lands in that country. Does not doubt William Morrice's friendly and best efforts in the execution thereof and hopes that the country will, in this manner of proceeding with them, have good cause to thank him in respect of the favour shown them, which otherwise they are unlikely to find, if it is not now accepted, as they should well perceive if it came to any other's land, and that to their further charge and trouble. Let him make every effort for the quicker & more effectual accomplishment thereof. William Morrice will perform Anne Dudley a good kindness in the execution of this service, and he shall find her not unmindful to require the same, as she has always done hitherto. Postscript, probably in Anne Dudley's own hand: Has grounded her business on William Morrice's sound and good advice. Wishes her officers to continue in the same way and that the people under William Morrice's command may be dealt with so that their good conformity be an example to the rest.
