She had not spirits to write before now, being so much troubled with the toothache. Thanking her for the cucumbers and for sending the hat. Her Aunt Edwards and her Aunt Williams. 'The grand Captain is com to Nanhoran and is to stay there 2 or 3 munths ....' Mrs Edw[ards] of Aber is to come there (? to Nanhoron) soon ----. Her Aunt Williams would be [gla]d to hear when the addressee intends coming to Pullhely. Asking her to send them all the account she can of Cousin Griffith Ellis, for that will please her Aunt best. Damaged.

She takes this opportunity of returning a great many thanks for all the addressee's kindness to her when at Bangor and lets her know that she got safe to Chester by herself late at night. The house she was brought to was quite full and she was obliged to enquire for a private lodging. How she happened to think of an old servant-maid of Mrs ?Mossin. She is to set out for London (at) 10 o'clock tonight and she has no hopes of company but the little child. Her journey from Bangor. She has sent the addressee a bonnet by the Bangor coach. She could not get any silk that she liked for the addressee here but [will] take [care to] send her one from .... Attached is slip addressed to 'Miss Williams at the Revd Mr Williams Rector of Harlington in Middlesex'. End wanting.

Returning sincere thanks for the many entertaining letters which the addressee was so obliging as to write for C. W.'s sister to her and for all other favours done to her sister and herself by the addressee and Mr Ellis. Is (a)shamed to tell her how unlucky she has been - she went to London with £20 in her pocket but unluckily for her lost her pocket. Her brother often wanted to see the silk that she was to buy for herself but she put him off from time to time for she never told her brother that she has lost her money nor does she intend ever to tell him if she can possibly avoid it, but she must beg the favour of Mr Ellis to send her £10 by the first opportunity if it is convenient to him. Mentioning that Mr Roger Griffith is to come to Wales very soon. She and her brother intend to set out for Bath next Monday, where they intend to stay three weeks: the Master Edwards and Miss Edwards go with them. She has been at Wimbledon and she went to the (?) assembly ('semble'). Is hurried from place to place (so) that she is quite tired of being a fine lady and often wishes to be in her little house to have (a) little time to herself and be with her dear friends. She cannot help telling the addressee what a plague it is to be a fine lady for she is up in the morning at 5 o'clock and the addressee knows that was not what she used to do. Asking her not to tell anybody of her loss.

Acknowledging the addressee's letter and her sister's with the franks that the addressee was so kind as to send her. Is never easy while she lives in ignorance of what happens to the addressee and her (C. W.'s) dear sister at Pullhely. Was very glad to hear that the addressee liked the silk. The fashions - the Nanhoron family, etc.

They were all here greatly concerned to think that the addressee had such bad weather to go home. Her Aunt Williams was very glad to hear that she got safe(ly) home, but she bade the writer tell her that she is very angry with her for staying so late at Glasveran [sic]. Her Aunt Edwards is a good deal better than when the addressee left her. Has enclosed John Hughes's age - she could not get it sooner. She had yesterday a great deal of company that had been at Penerth [sic] - they told her they had but poor doings and, what is worse, the old lady and young lady do not agree with each other. Miss Hughes of Whain is very much despised by the old lady. Cousin ?Nelle Griffies goes to Glin tomorrow.

The uneasiness of her Aunt Williams at not hearing from the addressee before now. Her Aunt Edwards and Mr Edwards. The Master's lady is very ill. Mrs ?Tim Edwards is to go to London next week and the writer is very sorry that she is not ready to go with her. Would be very glad to know if Mr Ellis was so good as to write to Mrs Wynne and what answer he had from her, for she (the writer) has not heard from her. They have just come home after keeping Christmas, which was but dull.

Case, with the opinion of Jno. Spranger, touching the title of Robert (?William) Harley Owen as administrator of Elizabeth Rowlands, otherwise Owen, his late wife, dec., to legacies of £100 and the moiety of another £100 after the dec. of Evan Lloyd and Robert Lloyd which were bequeathed to the said Elizabeth Rowlands, otherwise Owen, by Elizabeth Lloyd, otherwise Williams, dec., wife of William Williams, esq.

Requesting the addressee to buy her a good hat about 8s. price and another for Dicky with a narrow silver lace such as boys have.

She had a very agreeable journey from Chester to London. They got there in two days for she travelled all night and day, and when she got to London she went with Kitty Griffith to the latter's brother and he got her a lodging where she was obliged to stay two days to rest. How she failed to see Mr Hughes, and for that reason she could not buy the addressee a silk for indeed she had no money - why. She will go to London as soon as she can if she can get money from her brother and send it (the silk) to the addressee as soon as she possibly can. It is 15 miles from here to London - in the Windsor road. How her brother sent Jack Hughes to meet her. Here is a fine house and everything very grand but she must own she 'longs' very much for it is very dull with her. Her brother is very grave, the maids look at her like dirt (?Welsh idiom). She came to (a) great deal of trouble and care which she is not fit for, having so many things to look after that she is not capable of. She drank tea at the Master's one day - mention of Mrs Edwards and Miss Edwards. Sir ? J. Wynne and Lady Wynne, etc. all spent a day here. Master Edwards and his family were here - they are to be in ('at') Wales the 20th of next month and she wishes she was to come. (Over) She hopes the addressee had her bonnet safe by the Bangor coach. Torn.
