  <dc:title>Letters mostly from William Wynne, Lieutenant in the King's Dragoon Guards to the Rev. John Wynne (Nanney) of Maesyneuadd and Belmont near Llanrwst</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The letters refer to William Wynne's constant efforts to evade his creditors, and to attempts to obtain a transfer to the West Indies. By 1801 however, the tone has changed to one of expectation and high hopes centred around his forthcoming marriage to a Miss Long who will bring with her a dowry of £80,000. In the same year the affairs of brother Robert Wynne in India demand pressing attention, and it is suggested that William should go to Madras to bring him home.
Letter number 65 finds William at sea on board the Indiaman "Walthamstow", armed with a power of attorney signed by brother John and with instructions to search for any record of Robert's marriage. Later, there are references to the payment of allowances to two of Robert's children, Simon Hart Wynn and Harriet Wynn who accompanied their father home from India.

There are other letter in the group from Robert Chambre Vaughan (John Nanney's nephew and son of his sister Lowry who married Thomas Vaughan of Burlton Hall, co. Salop) regarding his marriage settlement which later involved John Nanney in a good deal of litigation.</dc:description>
