Apologises for being unable to see Owen. This week he has been so far out of order that he could not stir especially since Wednesday's meeting at Hanmer with Sir Richard Mydleton. He will not be free until Thursday on which, being coronation day, his namesake of Hordley and he meet at Ellesmere where they would be glad to drink the King's health with Owen. Hopes Lady Owen will be quickly up again, and good wishes for the increase of their family with as many little ones as they may desire.
The fine is recorded. There was great noise at the beginning of the Great Sessions of a writ of partition which caused the writer to stay there to watch the same until yesterday morning. Told Mr Pierce Pennant that he did not well to neglect the advice of his counsel ... and that Owen was by knowing men in law and equity much blamed for his generous offer at Wrexham. Thomas David's account is in such order that there must be at least two or three days in settling the sum; and to that purpose care must be taken to divide it into several columns of what was particularly paid to Owen's mother-in-law and Mrs Pennant since the death of Mr Owen Wynne, payment of servants' wages, for the use of the house, and the burial of Mr O(wen) W(ynne) and his wife. Let there be mentioned in the account to what use Lady Owen took money from Thomas David, for the writer found in the book £80 delivered to her, which money he supposes was to be sent to Chester to pay for things had at Chester for the funeral. Returns £8 of Owen's money.
Congratulates Owen on the apparent hopes he has of comfort from Lady Owen who he understands is in a brave and thriving condition. Reminds Owen of a former kindness in trying to arrange for the writer to become his neighbour in Oswestry. But at that time Mr Evans was not provided for, although he had a promise of another thing more suited to his genius and inclination, which he hears is now adoing if not already done. Has also been informed that the Bishop and the Town have come to an accommodation about that school's concern and that Mr Evans is to quit that employment very suddenly. If all this be true and the Bishop and the Town think fit, the writer can now comply with Owen's former kind motion to serve his friends in that troublesome and thankless employ to the best of his capacity.
