Both he and Lady Maurice were often remembered by their son-in-law, Sir William Awbrey Awbrey, and herself 'in the best wyne wee could meete withal'. She desires them to render him great thanks for her, for immediately after they knew who she was and how she stood to Lady Maurice, there was no want of kindness and liberality by him and his father, Sir Edward, towards her.
