File Clenennau letters and papers 421 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - Henry [Rowlands], Lord Bishop of Bangor, Bangor, to his cousin William Maurice,

Morris has insinuated in his letter some cross whispering for the election again. They cannot do so but that they will disgrace Henry Rowlands and themselves greatly. Has his warrant for anything he did. Indeed he must tell William Maurice that he was fain to be very earnest with Mr Jones. Mr Gwynn has since been there. Henry Rowlands told him of the muttering but found no averseness in him. 'When Mr Jones cometh home I doe of my love wishe you to take all kindly as I well knowe that you are full of humanityie that I need not so advise you. And for his frends yt is no wisdome to carie any hand over them'. Has written to William Maurice's factor, Cadwaladr Owen, to reserve him eight barrels of Portugal salt but at the price the country had it. If it be more, he will take up to twelve barrels. Desires it to be safely kept in some room in Pwllheli until some boat come his way. As for the money, William Maurice can send for it at any time.
