Endorsed: 'Englynion Sion Bradford'.

Begging his acceptance of the enclosed paper (?No. 43a) and inviting him to dine with him on Oct. 28, with other friends of the Institution.

Wrapper only.

T. Cox, Star Court, Chancery Lane, London, to Mr Edwd Williams, Flimstone near Cowbridge. The addressee's silence. They presume he would wish to have his room still kept for him.

He received yesterday the addressee's letter with the enclosed specimen, and is glad for his character's sake (EW's) that he means to fulfil his engagements to his subscribers. The addressee does Mr Carne much wrong in complaining of his conduct towards him. EW's letters to Mr Carne have contained such expressions and horrid innuendos that Mr Carne and the writer have thought EW's senses deranged, and that he consequently was not in a fit condition to give his publication to the world. EW's expressed intention of exposing the behaviour of a person who is a relative of the writer and a relative of the families of Ham and Pwllywrach. His views with regard to EW's employment as a party-writer. Advising him to write a submissive, but not a mean, letter to Mr Carne, who is still much his friend and willing to serve him. So is the writer, but cannot promise it till EW retracts his threat against the writer's relation, Mr R------s. Vindicating his seeming neglect of the addressee - advising him to be more composed. The addressee is indeed very much obliged to [Miss] Bowdler, but though he is a poet he might mention even her name without idolatry. Advising him to think twice or oftener of his scheme of going to America.

'Englynion' and a short note.

Mr Llewellin says he would be very glad to see the addressee, and that he would excuse his dishabille.

Mr Williams of Cowbridge School tells him the South Wales report will be completed by the addressee by the beginning of October, which he (WD) devoutly hopes will prove to be truth. 'If so, Mr Malkin promises he will take care of the packet, and forward it, with another from himself, from London.' Asking the addressee to let him know when he means to visit the North, and whether he will favour him with a visit at his new residence at Llanwyddelan.

Asking the addressee to answer by return of post, and if he can send the papers promised too, so much the better. Myfyr and Meirion have had lately a violent squabble with some Venedotians with D. Ddu o Eryri at their head, about the Greal. The writer has been told (by a Salopian) of a letter to Myfyr from the addressee in March last which gave the poor man great uneasiness. He wishes with all his heart he could make them both as good friends as they formerly were (i.e. EW and Myfyr). He wishes the addressee had occasion to come this way, and stop (stay) a week, or as long as he pleases.

Opportunies of conveying a letter to and from Cowbridge. The North Wales Report is now in the press and that of S. Wales must immediately follow. Queries referring to alterations for the better or for the worse that may have occurred since 1802 and 1805. Iolo Morganwg has written some agricultural notes on the dorse. Torn.

He did not know it was the addressee who wanted to see him yesterday. Would be glad to see him today if EW can make it convenient. Endorsed: 'Mr Davies Cringell. March 17th 1818'.

The first meeting of the Committee will be at Neath on Dec. 2. He hopes the addressee's translation of Clarke's ans. &c. is by this time completed.

Asking the addressee to come to Neath if he can on Dec. 20 to meet Mr C. Loyd and to give the finishing strokes to the Rules and address of the 'Cymdeithas Dwyfundodiaid yn Neheubarth Cymru' before he (the writer) takes them with him to London where they are to be printed.

In his last he forgot to inform him that he brought with him from Bristol a set of Chatterton's works for the addressee with Mr Southey's best respects. Mr Owen Jones had not received an answer from a Mr Davis on the subject of the addressee's letter to him [i.e. OJ]. Mr Owen and a Dr Leyden from Scotland. They will find Mr Lindsey and Mr Belsham warm supporters of the cause. A new method of teaching languages strongly recommended by Mr Frend. The names of those who spent the previous evening with the writer - this was the first of friendly meetings which they have agreed to hold once a fortnight by rotation at each other's houses for the discussion only of such subjects as conversation may give rise to.

He was happy to see the addressee's friend, Mr Davis of Aber. Regret that the addressee was not present at the last committee at Swansea with his promised translation of Clarke's Answer &c. Some account of Thos Evans as requested - a disagreeable task. His conduct latterly affords more than probable evidence of the truth of the reports which have been in circulation.

Soliciting the addressee's vote and interest in his candidature for the vacant office of Secretary of the Honourable and Loyal Society of Ancient Britons. (Printed, except for the signature).
