File 1235. - W[illiam Cecil, Lord] Burghley from the Court, to the Auditor and Receiver of South Wales and to the Deputy Steward ...,

W[illiam Cecil, Lord] Burghley from the Court, to the Auditor and Receiver of South Wales and to the Deputy Steward of the commote or manor of Cayo, co. Carmarthen. Whereas Her Majesty about nine years past leased under the Exchequer seal to one David Pryce and two others, for three lives certain waste grounds called Nant yr ast in the commote of Cayo, with covenant to repair and maintain the houses, hedges, and fences; and forasmuch as the writer is informed that the country there is so bare and destitute of wood and tinsel that the inhabitants are enforced to make and maintain their houses and hedges with stone; and for that he is further informed that upon parcel of Her Majesty's waste ground adjoining to the premises called Eskayer havod y garreg there is an open quarry of rough stone, where the farmer in most commodious sort may furnish himself with stone for the reparations of the said houses and hedges; these are therefore to will and require the recipients, upon request of the farmer of the said grounds called Nannt yr ast, to assign to the latter a convenient place and room within the said quarry or near thereto, where he may get sufficient stone for maintenance of the reparations; and this letter shall be 'yours and his' sufficient warrant.
