Description | Sends his uncle a copy of a letter received from Mr Hugh Williams asking the writer for his vote. 'Dear Cosen - As I am encouraged by several gentlemen to offer my Services again at the next Election for the County of Anglesey, I take the liberty to beg the honour of your vote & interest; I can't find Ld Bulkeley has yet declar'd himself, but I hope he will in the end give way to the advice & request of his Anglesey friends rather than be goven'd by the Odd Unaccountable Pique of his new kinsfolks. I propose to be in Anglesey at the Assizes & and should be glad of the pleaseure of hearing from you. I am Dear Cosen your very humble servant Hugh Williams".
Also appends a copy of his proposed answer which he will not send till he has Wynne's and the Doctor's approbations - "Sir, yesterday I had the favour of your letter, I am sorry that at present I can't satisfye you whether I can comply with your request, how agreeable soever it may be to my inclinations; the whimsical circumstances my brother has thought fit to place me in quite discourages me from making any promises of this kind which few months may, possibly, put out of my power to make good - as I have not promis'd my vote to your prejudice, I may, with sincerity wish you all the success your know services to the County you represent might insist upon". If his uncle doesn't like the above letter, let him inform the writer accordingly.
Dorse. Dr Wynne reply - Is sorry to say the will his poor brother made has all at once reduced the family and its interests so low as to be at present of very small significance in the county. And those sever and necessitous circumstances he has though fit to place the writer in oblige him to be cautious of promising what he may not be able to perform having had a very late instance of the insolence of one of those that used to be with them |
