An extract from the minutes of the Council of the University College of Wales, 30 June 1870, relating to an interview between Henry Richard and W. E. Gladstone on the subject of an Exchequer grant to the College (item 1); and a draft (or copy) of a letter, 4 July 1883, from Henry Richard (item 2) and of a statement on intermediate education in Wales, signed by nearly all the members of Parliament for Welsh constituencies, to be sent to Mr Gladstone (item 3).

Stray items relating to Major Edgar Jones (1868-1953), father of Gareth Vaughan Jones, and headmaster of the Barry Boys' County School from 1899 until his retirement in 1933. They include a small quantity of correspondence on a wide range of subjects, including letters from Gwilym Davies, undated; Sir Owen M. Edwards, 1916; W. Goscombe John, 1952; Dr Thomas Jones CH, 1925, 1947, 1950, 1951 and 1952 (many referring to the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth); and Sir John Edward Lloyd, 1929 (relating to the Welsh Language Society). Many of the letters refer to educational themes. There are also two letters, both dated 1953, from Major Edgar Jones to his daughter Eirian Lewis, mother of Dr Siriol Colley. There are also some tributes to Major Jones upon his death in 1953.
