And by reason of Edward Dillinghams importunitie to have all things ended betweene him and Mrs. Dillingham disceased: that hee might (as it is meete) have that in his owne hand which is due to him by his brothers will; the Commissioners have therfor appoynted a meeting at Meadford, vppon the 3d day of the next weeke to that end: I have therfore made bould at this time (as I thought it my dutie) to acquaint your worships, that Mrs. Dillingham (in her lifetime) did acquaint Mr. Dudly with her mind aboute many things betwixt herselfe and Edward Dillingham (which will need his presence very much) and did rely vppon his direction and counsell; and entreat his help thearin (when as it should have beene ended by Arbitrators of their owne chusing:) I am therfore bould to thinke that I am not troblesome to your worships; nor offencive in the least kind vnto any; if I shall entreate thus much; that Mr. Dudly may bee desired to joyne with Mr. Nowell and Mr. Mahue in this behalfe, and if hee cannot bee at leaisure the 3 day of the next weeke; the soonest day may bee appoynted (in regard of Mr. Dillingham) which will suite with his occasions.
