File Clenennau letters and papers 452. - Anne Wen Brinkir to her brother Sir William Maurice, at Mrs Mylington's house in Powlse Chaine,

Part of her former letter is vain, because Lady Eure is at the Council, so that Margaret did not go to Porkington. About the money, Ellis Brynkir brought her ten pounds, and William Maurice's servant, William ap William, 40s. The rest is promised by Sunday next, and Robert Lloyd will set out either Monday or Tuesday next with so much money as can be procured. Her son-in-law, Richard Evans, is being entreated to come to London to see what help he can be; Ellis also hopes to have twenty pounds of Richard Anwell if need be. A drover has kept Ellis's money - though he sends often for it, he cannot get it. Strangers have come the first week in Lent - namely her nephew Thomas Wyne of Morva Maure and his wife. Entreats him to send home 'some linge and a firking of holand yeeles', and what else he may think good. More hops needed against March, and spices especially ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. The commission has been executed at Dolbenmaen.
