File Clenennau letters and papers 236 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - [Sir] William Thom[as], Caernarvon, to his father in law Sir William Maurice, kt, Clenennau,

Has received a letter from the Privy Council to the high sheriff and justices of the county requiring to be informed of the names, additions, quality and places of all the freeholders in the county by [ ] at the furthest; encloses a copy thereof. Requests William Maurice's assistance with the names and additions of all the freeholders in the commote of Eifionydd, William Maurice's limit. Sir John Wynne promised to send a note of the names of those in Creuddyn, Nantconwy and Isaf by Palm Sunday, and William Thomas has written to the justices of the peace of Llyn to do the same for those three commotes and to Sir William Glynne in Uwchgwyrfai. Has also written to them to be at Caernarvon next Monday for further conference; William Maurice's presence or advice will greatly avail for the county's good. The word 'quality' in the letter admits various constructions; all should agree as nearly as possible for the county's good. 'Pauca sapienti'. Partly torn and faded.
