Diary for 1915.

Diaries of Joseph Jenkins, 1839-1870. The earliest full diary is the one for 1845 and they are written in English as he wished to improve his command of the language. They contain details of agricultural life in rural Ceredigion with daily reports on the weather and his work, references to weddings, funerals, visitors and local events, together with a diary of his voyage to Australia, 1868-1869. Englynion (verses in strict metre) and stanzas in free metre, composed in Welsh in response to events or at the request of other people, are included in the diaries.
