back their said deeds, and passed over others to me of their interest in the
same, which I have with the said indenture of his honour; and desiring
to enter in amiable composition with you for the other half, or rather for
the only four quarters of the very Glean, and two quarters of Clonfada,
the revenue of which (if we agree) I will leave to Sir John Macnamary my
cousin, during his life, desiring only to have the possession, since I have
my creation in the same, and not for any benefit I ever expect for me, or
my only son, which will not forsake what he have here by his mother, for a
hundred times so much, and if your worship be pleased to remit our agreement,
for the said six quarters, to Mr Teig O’Brien your uncle, MacIbrien
Arra, and Donogh O Grady, which are nearer to you, than to me, and most
worthy worshipful men of equity; I am content to conclude with you, for
the said, six quarters and referring all other circumstances herein, to the
bearer Mr Longe, to insinuate to you from me to avoid prolixity expecting
your speedy answer, and resolution by the said bearer for to be sent unto
me by the way I ordained with my love and humbled duty to your worship
and honourable lady, I take leave and remain forever.
Your worship’s most humble cousin and servant to command
