LETTER: Robert Wynne to John Wynne, Esq., MP, at Sir William Wynn’s house in Holles Street, Cavendish Square, London. John Owen, one of the King’s boat men in Conwy, is dead, and Richard Williams is recommended in his place. He gathers that Mr. Nicolson has written in favour of a William Pryse, "a Pimp" of Mrs. Holland and he hopes this man will not be preferred as he would find a ready willing fellow on the King’s boat on "this troublesome river" of advantage. Sir Thomas Mostyn has lost his eldest girl, and three other girls and his youngest boy are now ill. The other three boys have been sent to Mostyn. There has been snow on the ground for a week and it is a yard deep; the country is impassable. James Conway is there and suffers from the gout. [N.L.W. Glynllivon 3269]
