Scope and content
A magical charm, issued by an un-named dyn hysbys (cunning man), to cure from illness 'the woman Ingram of Gilfach, Llanwnog, Caersws, Mont.', probably Elizabeth Ingram (1819?-1887). The charm, accompanied by several mystical symbols, is written in black ink on both sides of a leaf of feint-ruled paper taken from an exercise book or notebook. It is preserved along with its envelope, bearing the name of Mrs Ingram, and a small contemporary cotton bag.
Elizabeth Ingram is recorded as living at Gilfachrhiew [Gilfachyrhiw or Gilfach Farm], Llanwnog, in the 1881 Census.
