File Clenennau letters and papers 226 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - [Sir William Maurice] to 'Mr Auditor',

Understands a letter for him has been sent to Mr Receiver to offer him the lease of the quarries which, though the last was very chargeable to William Maurice in preserving the title of the King and Prince thereto, he will accept. Desires the recipient to thank Sir Fulke Grevell and Sir James Fullerton and the rest for remembering him, and will take a lease like the other beginning payment at the next audit if convenient. Knows he will receive no profit but must sue therefor. Thinks no-one will venture to sue Sir Richard Bulkley except William Maurice who will spare no money or pains to do the prince a service. He and his people are now served to appear in the Star Chamber and the Marches to defend the Prince's title to a township which William Maurice holds called Gest. The bearer will tell William Maurice's mind to the recipient; William Maurice had meant to come himself, but was prevented by the King's business. Draft; followed by another draft of part of the same.
