Asks William Maurice to wait for payment. Will bring the money himself in a fortnight's time. Hopes William Maurice will not think the worst of him. But for his business he would be oftener with William Maurice and his Lady Mother.

Understands that Lady Maurice has influence with the Bishop of Bangor. Asks their assistance by writing on behalf of this young man, William Lloyd, to be admitted to the living of Llangefni. He is a son to a sister of the writer's wife. His learning is not much, but he is a distinct reader, and for life and conversation of the best sort. The writer will undertake it upon his credit, for Lloyd has lived with him in household, teaching his children three or four years.

Asks whether William Maurice means to proceed against him at the next Merionethshire Assizes for the glebe land in Llanfihangel-y-Traethau. Requests that the trial be deferred until the next assizes following, by reason of some earnest business the writer has. Meanwhile he hopes that they can better end the matter amongst themselves than the trial of law will end it. 'Your poor kinsman'.

Legal business about execution of a commission. Has done his best for the bearer in making him a petition and preferring the same to the whole Council at the table. The same is sent by the Council to the justices of the peace for Caernarfonshire desiring them to continue his stipend of 20s.. The letter, a copy of which is enclosed, is subscribed by Mr Justice, Sir Henry Townshend, and Sir Francis Eure.

Wishes to be remembered to various members of the family. Sir Harry Johnes is committed to the Fleet for breaking the decree. A messenger has been sent by the court for Thomas Jones and Watkin Morgan who are to pay their rents and arrears. The rest of the tenants are to pay their rents at Llanbadarn Fawr and not at Abermarlais. Sir Harry now sues William Maurice's bond of a thousand pounds and has been served with a subpoena to stay his proceeding. Progress of suit against Owen Ellis in the Star Chamber. He sends daily to her Ladyship for agreement but she will not yield to him. Concerning the lease for fishing he will move Sir Thomas Trevor and Sir John Walter herein with a letter under his master's hand. As for the quarries, William Maurice shall have his patent next term ... it will cost £8 as the secretary told the writer. As for the cloaks he was fain to go to his master's old friends, Mr Prat, and there took up eight liveries and a cloak for the footman. The cloak, though somewhat coarse, is the best he has. The writer has put his hand to the bill conditionally, so that his Worship may agree when he comes up to London himself. As for the spices and sugar loaf, he has no money to pay for them but will do what he can therein. He and Rowland Gruffydd entered into bond with one Mr James Medlecot, merchant tailor, for £40. Morris Jones received £20 and her Ladyship the other £20, so that the writer received not a penny. Sends two new books by the bearer. Has also sent two quarts or more of 'sallet oel' by the Oswestry carrier, Robert Floyd. His master should cause someone to inquire for the same at Mr Blodwell's shop. He cannot say when he will be home because her Ladyship is to go to Northamptonshire for two or three days and then she will come home. She has done her best endeavour in William Maurice's causes 'soe did wee all: ut apparet'. Has spoken with Morris Jones for money to buy Mrs Anne a hat but he complains that he wants money himself. The writer is not acquainted with any hat-seller and therefore wonders whether he can be trusted. Paper and both kinds of wax will be sent with the cloak. Morris Jones and Humffrey Jones are cold friends, but the writer could not tell Morris Jones that William Maurice means to have a lease of Aberglaslyn 'for they be both fiends and foes for anythinge I know'. Owen Ellis cannot abide honest Rowland Gruffydd and the writer. Rowland was very rude with Sir Henry Johnes about William Maurice's money, and so likewise was Morris Jones. But Mr Price, Sir William Thomas's son-in-law, railed against Rowland Gruffydd, Morris Jones, and the writer. He is against William Maurice tooth and nail and is very 'yelle' both in his discourse and carriage teste Henrico Bodvell armig. Sir Ffoulk Grevell's letter to Sir John Walter (delivered by the writer) did much good in their cause against Owen Ellis. Sir John Walter will be himself in place at the next hearing to see that the Prince shall not be wronged.

Sends the bearer, Elissa Pugh, his servant, with a letter of attorney to receive that £100 which is due to the James Price in May next, to be paid at the Church of Llanaber, Merionethshire. Prays William Maurice to pay it. Wishes to be remembered to his aunt, Mrs Anne Brynkir, and his cousin, Mrs Jane Awbrey.
