Letter - Richard Lloyd to Thomas Gell - has some business to impart to Gell and wishes to call on him - one matter concerns the estate of a recusant now in France which is £1200 p.a. and he has no issue, which estate was to fall to the Crown by attainder, his grandfather being executed for treason - the other is an office in Cornwall worth £6 or 700 p.a. and other things formerly in the King's gift - will also tell Gell of Sir Nicholas Crispe's new commission from the Prince, whereby he was appointed Admiral of a Fleet not exeeding 20 ships - knows of some money owed to Crispe - if a commission was granted, believes good debts would be discovered and thinks something similar might be done against the Earl of Antrim for prizes sold in Cornwall -has heard of an ordnance of Parliament that gives half to he who discovers debts owing to delinquents. 18 Feb [1647]
