File Clenennau letters and papers 458 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - William Brynkir, to his uncle, Sir William Maurice,

Has received by the Oxford carrier his uncle's letter enclosing another from Lady Thomas wherein she seemeth to complain that her son wanted a chamber and many necessary things including a suit of apparel. Concerning the chamber, the writer took order at his coming away that her son might be admitted to his, where he might have continued if he had been willing, but having a mind to be alone, he removed to another chamber which was then void and which 'happily' he could not obtain hereafter when he would have it. Mr Dr Price was and is very careful of him. The writer brought him from London a suit of apparel of good black stuff with lace upon it. Understands that Sir William Thomas [his father] comes up to London before the holidays when he shall perceive that there is no such cause for grievance on his son's behalf as he suspects. Thinks that his mother sent him £5 by the carrier, but of that there is not a word in her Ladyship's letter. Has received by the carrier 40s. from William Maurice for which he thanks him. Will account for it and other things when he comes to the country, which will be a fortnight before Christmas. In the meantime, Mr Dr Price, to whom William Brynkir is much bound, keeps him there. He has no news from London more than William Williams can relate. Postscript: There was a casket found this week of my lord of Somerset wherein was found four score thousand pounds worth in jewels. The casket was delivered to Sir John Cotton, and he is now committed. There were found in the casket, letters from my Lord of Northampton to the Earl of Somerset, and other letters from the Earl to his Lady before they were married. What will come of them yet is not known.
