LETTER: George Bettiss, Caernarfon, to Thomas Atkinson, Messrs Farrar and Co., Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London. He is sending a box of game on Lord Newborough’s orders. Times are likely to improve with some of the tenantry: corn prices are high and cattle are "looking up". He asks what the Master decided re Frochas. He sees no harm in pressing Mr. Wynne to accept less than 4000 guineas for Frochas, as his agent used every unfair means to run the price up at the auction, because of its importance to Lord Newborough, and since he now needs money desperately.
