There are two of the writer's tenants taken with a quominus yesterday. The recipient might remember that the writer was very willing to comply upon the recipient's patent. The recipient was so kind as to give liberty for the writer's own tenants to come to the writer's mill, only paving an acknowledgment of a groat a year. He can assure the recipient that there has not been a 'kimos' [cynos] of any of 'theirs' since that time in the writer's mill. He never desired Richard Evan's custom, but he hopes the recipient will not ruin him on the score of coming to the writer's mill. From this day forwards the recipient has 'them'. He hopes he shall not find the want of 'their' custom. Pray, pardon the writer's blotting, for he is not very well this morning after riding late last night. He desires to know whether the recipient will discharge the writer's tenants or that he may get bail for 'their' appearance. Humble service to Lady Williams.
