File NLW MS 9062E/1574. - Letter from Lady A[nn] Bulkeley at Lludwigin to Mr Juckes,

Desires him to tell her son how sensible she is of his wicked practices against her. Compares him with Nero, who caused the death of his mother. He would, if he could, cause her to be hanged, but she knows the plots of his murderous cousin of Berw and wise cousin attorney. When her son was in London, how he laboured to persuade his grandmother to proceed against her. He has not ceased to declare that he believes his father to have been poisoned, although he was undutiful to his father in his sickness, so that she could hardly persuade him to visit him, whereat his father would curse him and say she would find him a most undutiful child. Neither Holland nor the rest would be commissioners, nor his paltry cousin prosecutor, without his consent. He will be a byword in the country. They will say 'there goes wicked Bulkeley that would have hanged his own mother; his grandfather sought to hang his mother-in-law, had not God raised up a friend to defend her.' Declares her innocence, and inveighs against him for his unnatural behaviour. Commits her cause to God and exhorts her son to amend his evil life. His dissembled love for his father got his ring from his sister Mary. Now he seeks the overthrow of his mother and sisters. What will they of Cheshire, nay, the whole world, say, but that 'that woman is most unhappy which matches with such a family'; but all she can say will not prevail and she must leave him to God's punishment.
