Received a letter from the Lord President late on Sunday night of which he encloses a copy (No. 350). Desires to arrange a meeting to confer about the Lord President's request.

Is disappointed for his money everywhere, especially now in his need, since he lacks sufficient money for the bearer, his cousin Mr Richarde Ieuan, who is going for William Maurice to London to solicit William Maurice's business, and that of Frances Eure. Desires Frances Eure if she can to give him £10 for William Maurice which will make him more ready to take pains in their causes and better able to fee his counsellors. This shall be to Frances Eure's credit and his [Richarde Ieuan's] satisfaction. Postscript: Reminds her what trouble and charge he takes about her causes.

Letters came to Ludlow two days ago mentioning that the Lord President would be at Ludlow on 18 June. It is credibly thought that he will travel with Sir Francis Eure through his circuit, but whether he will do so is not certainly known until his coming. At Ludlow attending the Council are Mr Justice, Sir Henry Towneshend, Sir Francis Eure and Mr Justice Overburye. This term is reasonable, but John Lloyd has known many better. For his part, has for five weeks been troubled with an ague which still hangs upon him and vexes him this term. Sir Walter Rawleighe's voyage is quite overthrown to the great hindrance of many. It is credibly reported that Sir Thomas Bromley, a knight born in Shropshire, son and heir of Sir Henry Bromley, kt, dec., who was licensed by the King to travel, has robbed the King of Spain's treasure house and taken millions of unknown riches and treasures from there. Now he lies upon the narrow seas, awaiting the King's pardon. It is also reported that the King of Spain sent to the King requesting restitution of the goods and riches taken, but John Lloyd has not heard of any assent of restitution yielded. Has no other news.

Has received letters from the Privy Council for mustering and training in Wales and the Marches; encloses a copy. Desires the recipients to see that service effected at the most expedient time and place for the service and the ease of the county, and to certify William Compton thereof so that he may attend in person, unless hindered by urgent occasions. Does not doubt their care and diligence therein. Postscript: Expects a certificate from them at a convenient time so that he may certify the Council.
