Arranging for a meeting with my Lady Cave at Placeucha during Flintshire Assize week. Desires Sir John to send him Richard Kooke of Gwitherin to prepare food for their coming. Has a warrant from Sir Thomas Egerton for a buck.

Likes his compendious and material certificate whereunto Sir John has subscribed. Wonders how Hugh Moris, clerk, of Treveryw, should come to be indicted for recusancy, seeing that, in Sir John's time, there was no such dweller there. Thomas conceives that a brother of John Wynn Moris of the Kymme is meant, which is a seminary; Sir John never heard of him before, and, if he frequents thither, he will 'lay for him.' In Sir John's opinion there need be no touch of Hugh Moris of Treveryw, clerk, in their certificate to my Lord, for fear their certificate and the indictment should 'carry contrarities.' Sir John will examine the reason for that indictment, for he cannot guess whereon it was grounded.

Showed Sir Richard Molineux, at Liverpool, Sir John Wynn's letter about the match proposed between Mostyn's son and Molineux's daughter. Discusses the marriage settlement and refers to the coal-mines at Mostyn. Sir Richard invites Mostyn to visit him at his house at Sefton to discuss the matter. Sir Richard Trevor is come here about this business of the ship.

Respecting the forthcoming election. 'My brother' John Gruffith of Cefnamwlch acceded to Sir John's request; 'my brother' Thomas Bodvell is on Sir John's side; thinks he will have no opposition.

Would have Sir John's sons Elis and Harry postpone their journey to London till the end of the summer, that the writer's son Thomas may go up with them. Surely they will be much readier then for any school. Complains that he has been suffering from his old disease, the stone.

Sends for her daughter who has, for a great while, been a troublesome guest with Lady Mostyn. Desires her to deliver to this maid Katherine Carewe, the bearer, all her daughter's apparel, with a note thereof in discharge of the same. Endorsed in the autograph of Sir John Wynn: 'The Lady Wynne's letter to the Lady Mostyn, for the delivery of Eleanor Wynne.'. [Lady Margaret Wynn (nee Cave) was the widow of Sir John Wynn (d. Lucca, Italy, 25 Aug. 1614; see NLW MS 9055E/669), Sir John Wynn of Gwydir's eldest son. Eleanor Wynn was the only child of the marriage, and died while still a child].

Verses in Latin composed by Robert Wynn of Gwydir at the Commencement at Cambridge. He was a son of Sir John Wynn and died young. Printed copy.

Sir John Wynn's answers to Sir Henry Baynton's questions with regard to a proposed match between Sir Richard Wynn and Sir Henry's daughter.

Proposals for a marriage between Sir John Wynn's son Henry and the daughter of Richard Evans of Elernion, a man of 32 years of age. A copy of Evans's rent-roll is appended.

Papers numbered 905-1308A (passim), to be issued to readers as NLW Film 1031.

Sends enclosed a letter from the Dean of Westminster, in answer to Sir John's, who is sorry that he cannot accomplish Sir John's desire. Sir John will receive by Bradshawe, Sir Roger Mostyn's servant, the rest of his things, according to the enclosed note. Oranges and lemons are very scarce this year, lemons being sold for 6d. and 4d. apiece, their lowest price. Oranges are so bad that they are scarce worth the buying; has bought a dozen of the best he could get, and 11 dozen lemons, which he has sent by the Chester carriers.

With regard to the elections, many freeholders in Lleyn made their eldest sons freeholders of part of their lands. There was, on the Wynns' side, a division touching who should stand, the Bishop naming 'yourself' [Sir Richard], while Sir John Bodvel named 'your brother Owen' (whom Sir William Thomas disliked of, saying he would not adventure his credit upon any younger brother); Sir William Thomas named young Thomas Glynn. These things considered, 'your brother Owen thought more fit to name' Gruffith Johns on 'our' side, whose father-in-law William Gruffith was on the Wynns' side. Cousin Robert Lloyd and 'brother' Ellice Lloyd have shown themselves very friendly.

'Brother' Owen [Wynn] and the writer have been in conference about a business concerning land; would know Sir John's mind, in the matter.

(1) Sir John Wynn to Lord Keeper Williams. Refers to the houses of Penrhyn and Cochwillan. Complains of the unseasonableness of this year. Mentions his son Owen, Prise Jones's son, John Griffith the elder and Harry Bodwrda. This year has proved ill for the 'vent' of their commodities. (2) Sir John to Roderick Powell. Respecting a match for his son Owen. (3) List of friends with whom Sir John Wynn must correspond. (4) Sir John to Sir Thomas Myddelton. Complaining of the hardness of the times and begging for a loan of £500. (5) Sir John at Gwydir to Dr Thomas Williams, 2 May 1622. Complaining of the hardness of the times and begging for a loan. [The name of Thomas Williams is crossed out and that of Edw[ard] [Me]redith added]. (6) Sir John to Sergeant Owen. Desiring postponement of payment for a year. (7) Sir John to young Sir Thomas Myddelton, [--] April 1622. Requesting a loan of £500. (8) Sir John to Rob [--]. Complaining that his rents are unpaid owing to the hardness of the times, and that his lead ore will not sell for the same reason. Begs for the loan of £500 through Nathaniel Owen or others. Badly mutilated.

There was not one whit of good news at the Bishop's departure from the city of London, for Count Mansfield is turned to the King of France and the Duke of Brunswick with him, and thereupon all the English and Scottish soldiers forsook and went to the Duke of Bullonie at Sedan; while the French king is contented to besiege Sedan and set upon the Duke de Bolliegne and to give Geneva to Count Mansfield if he can take it. Monsieur Sabees [Soubise] was sent back in one of the king's ships, with no supply of men for Rochell, but with £4,000. Yet the prince, at the bishop's coming away, was confident of the match, and that the Palatinate will be restored, which the bishop will believe when he sees it. Has heard since that Count Mansfield was not gone to the French, but marched towards Flanders, which God grant to be true, and that a battle was to be fought between him and Consalvo on August 19 last, the event whereof is not yet known. Hopes to see Sir John on his way to Bangor. Is this day going to see the sister of their venerable friend the Lord Keeper, 'and the Lord keep him.'.

Thanks him for the fat doe. Is glad Sir Richard Wynn is gone towards London. Mr Secretary that was, now Mr Solicitor Griffith John Gitto, gave it out, on his departure from London, that he had had the high constableship of Caernarfon Castle. The bishop assures himself that, by the time Gitto returns to London, he shall find his vaunting humour so quelled in that constableship that he shall have little or no cause to brag of his advancement. But more of this at their next meeting as the bishop passes to Bangor to attend the convocation to be held there on the 23rd of this next October.

Is glad to hear of his good health. She would have written sooner, but he lives so far away and his brother Sir Richard has been with them this summer. Sends £3, which her son Owen will consign to Mr Robert Jeffries to be conveyed to Hamburg.

Thanking him for the fish. Endeavoured to leave his bed, where he lay sick of an ague, to meet cousin Owen Wynn to give him satisfaction, but Wynn would not meet him. Is not guilty of anything laid to his charge. Has not heard from Sir William Jones of what Sir John wrote.

Money matters with Mr Geoffreys. Their father is not inclined to afford them the same means as other gentlemen of quality; besides, trade is decreased, money scarce, and the price of land is half of what it was; and their father cannot receive the third part of his rents. There is, besides, a great famine and a new sickness (especially in Wales) whereof many die. Their father will not fail to add to his portion, and cares more for his preferment than that of his other children, in regard of the great distance at which he lives which makes him more mindful of his son, as their father himself told the writer last summer. Let him not be troubled therefore that he is out of his father's sight, for he is surely not out of mind. Parliament is to meet on the 12th February; there is hope that the Spanish match is broken off. Begs him to write, from time to time, all the 'occurents' in the parts in which he lives and also about his health. Brothers Owen and Harry are in the country until term begins. John Prytherch sends love and service.

The bearer, Henry Marshe, administers his brother Matthew Marshe's goods. Respecting Sir John's money in Ireland; the writer expects to go over himself very shortly.
