Details of
Title: SIR GEORGE CAREW to SIR HENRY BAGNALL.
Description:

"My good Nephew,--Your letter by Marmaduke I have received, and am sorry to hear of the controversies depending between you and my kinsman." I perceive he has promised that I shall make you another estate in the constableship of Laghlin. He must excuse me if I do not presently satisfy his hope. Yourself should sooner have obtained it at my hands than he; but I am sure you do not require anything that may be prejudicial to me. Until I may see either the former covenants between us, or your writings, we cannot agree upon a new draft. Excuse me signing anything until my coming into Ireland. In the meantime, to assure you that I will not substitute any other, I am well pleased that you do nominate Mr. Dudley Loftus or any other to be my vice-constable at Laghlin Bridge. In this conveyance sent unto me you have not covenanted to save me harmless against the warders for their pay or the Queen for her rents; nor am I saved harmless for the time that your brother had the office. My best and friendliest affections to yourself, Sir Patrick, both your Ladies, and fair boy.

 

St. Giles-in-the-Field, 16 June 1591.
