Thought it necessary to let him know something she has heard touching the estate of Kemmes Bychan to which Owen may have a right. She had once a discourse, when two or three besides herself were employed, including a person who belonged in former times to Owen's great grandfather, Mr William Lewis Annwyl, and was at Park a servant to the old gentleman when Owen's grandfather, Mr Lewis Anwyl, died. This man, Rowland Owen by name, told her that he was present when William Lewis Annwyl, after the death of his son Lewis, opened a trunk belonging to Owen's grandfather and took out a deed of settlement on Kemmes Bychan and put it in the fire, and at the burning thereof uttered some words of gladness that he had found the deed to cancel.

Acknowledges the receipt of Owen's reply to a letter written by 'my' brethren, the agents, and himself, directed to Owen and five other gentlemen by command of the Lords of the Treasury. Assures Owen on behalf of his brethren that nothing has been before them or is known to them which misrepresented Owen in any kind, but on the contrary he is very highly esteemed by all the great men they have had to do with particularly by the Lords of the Treasury, in whose names the writer went himself to Lord Newport to name six persons in the county of Salop near to Oswestry who might execute the Act for settling the tax of 4/- in the pound. His Lordship gave a high character of Owen and the other five ... Some information was given to the Lords of the Treasury by persons unknown to them. The writer is sure that no commissioners were appointed to act in Oswestry except the Mayor - and that he was a man not qualified to be one. Begs Owen not to allow the mean consideration of such private persons to bear any value with him, for it is not worth his while.
