File Clenennau letters and papers 763. - John Godolphin, at Undon, to Madam Mary Tanat,

Her letter of the 15th gives him to understand that his letter of the 13th is plain and positive as to the land and that it gives her satisfaction regarding his sincerity. But she asks him to be as plain and positive about her other demands contained in the papers delivered to him by Mr Ellis. In answer he now says that by £8,000 for the lands he means the woods and timber to be comprised in that sum; that the household stuff shall be valued by indifferent persons; that two-thirds of Abertanat be settled on her sister for life; that his lands in Cornwall be given in possession to his son in marriage; that although he will not promise to settle £200 per annum more on him in reversion after the writer's death, yet he will consider him as his eldest son when he dies; and lastly that the whole estate of Abertanat be settled as they themselves shall please and as counsel shall advise.
