File Clenennau letters and papers 287 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - [Sir] Henry Johnes to [Sir William Maurice],

William Maurice has sent for the money that Henry Johnes owes him. Confesses he is in Henry Johnes's debt and will repay him as soon as he can. Entreats William Maurice's patience at this time and will pay for them; if he could get money for anything at this time William Maurice would not have sent for them. Had a hundred pounds' worth of cattle to sell and could not [...] for them and therefore is forced to keep them until May. Asks for an acquittance for his mother's £300 and £20 for last year. Will see William Maurice himself after the holidays and will do his best for William Maurice's money. William Maurice wrote for a gelding for Henry Johnes's mother; has no horse that is quiet enough for her to ride. Wishes to be remembered to Sir William Thomas and his lady, desiring him to pardon Henry Johnes for withholding his own from him, but will pay the money. Postscript: His wife remembers herself to her aunt Janne Grefid and thanks Henry Johnes's mother and William Maurice for her token. His wife will get a token for his aunt.
