Nodyn gan Luned Meredith, un o roddwyr y casgliad, ar daflen atodol:
'Treuliodd [Mary Silyn Roberts] lawer o amser yn Nenmarc o'r cyfnod cyn iddi briodi yn 1904 i ddiwedd y 40au neu [sic] 50au. Roedd hi'n mynd draw bron bob blwyddyn i ddysgu mewn ysgolion haf, ac aeth nifer o'r teulu draw ar achlysur gan gynnwys Silyn [Robert (Silyn) Roberts] a Rhiannon eu merch.'
Note (translated) by Luned Meredith, one of the archive's donors, on accompanying sheet:
'Mary Silyn Roberts spent a portion of nearly every year teaching summer school in Denmark from 1904 (before her marriage) to the end of the 1940s or the 1950s. Family members would occasionally accompany her, including her husband, Robert (Silyn) Roberts, and their daughter Rhiannon.'
Luned Meredith am Henni Forchhammer:
''Roedd Henni Forchhammer ... yn amlwg iawn yn y mudiad heddwch ac ym myd addysg yn Nenmarc. Mae ei phapurau yn yr amgueddfa yn y brifddinas [Copenhagen] ac mae ychydig o sôn am Mary ynddyn nhw. Bu Mary yn aros gyda hi ac fe ddaeth hi draw i Gymru i ddarlithio.'
Note (translated) on accompanying sheet by Luned Meredith, one of the archive's donors:
'Henni Forchhammer was a prominent figure within the peace movement and within education in Denmark. Her papers, in which there are some references to Mary Silyn Roberts, are kept in the museum in [Copenhagen]. Mary went to stay with her in Denmark and Henni came over to Wales to lecture.'
