W. Williams to [Taliesin Williams]. An invitation. Requesting the addressee, if convenient, to buy and bring with him part the second of the Mabinogion, published this day. Today is little Rees's birthday.

W. Williams to [Taliesin Williams]. Tomorrow the addressee will receive the three MSS which he lent the writer. Is extremely sorry to hear of his continued illness - advice. The name Lleision. Verses to the addressee and his lumbago.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr. Is exceedingly sorry to hear that he has been indisposed. An invitation.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe lands, Merthyr. He has just learnt that the Llandaff subject is to be abandoned and another substituted ('The influence of Welsh traditions &c. on German literature'). An occasion has presented itself for a declaration of his (WW's) sentiments on the last (?) Cymreigyddion. Two questions about writing the life of Iestyn and notices of the descendants of Cradock and Rhys. Asking him to send Cardiff Castle when he has time.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebeland, Merthyr. Discusses Mr Edward Thomas. The subject of Iestyn seems attractive. The addressee should not lose one day in asking Mr Traherne's leave to see his documents regarding the early history of this county. Other suggestions. Mr David Jenkin has sent him his MSS and pedigrees for the history of Glamorgan - he (WW) is more convinced than ever that Cromwell sprang from this family. Moore's history of Ireland.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr. He has just received a letter from Sir Thomas Philipps, who wishes to have a list of the addressee's MSS, stating the subject, age, number of pages, and size of each volume. His own view that they are essentially Glamorgan, and if they get out of the addressee's hands the history of it will never appear. He has lately read Geraint ap Erbyn. Shall they fix on May next for the completion of the lineage of Gwent? Can he state to Sir T. Philipps that it is the addressee's intention to write a history of this county? He is anxious to lay before the public, either in a newspaper or periodical, a short history of the Myvyrian, of its contents, &c. - would be much obliged if the addressee would give him a skeleton of it.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr. Asking the addressee, when he has an opportunity, to give Mr White the enclosed prospectus. He was exceedingly pleased with the addressee's critique of Rhys Goch. Is very anxious that the addressee should publish a translation of his Coelbren. The numbers of the Myvyrian are very cheap when it is considered that the Welsh text is subjoined. Reference to questions asked in No. 1,042.

W. to Mr Taliesin Williams. Asking him to try (by letter) to induce Waring to print and distribute more of those papers. 'One shilling societies shd be formed in each Town in the County.' Desiring him to speak to Saunders and other ministers on the subject.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe lands, Merthyr. Their prospects with regard to a subscription for printing Welsh MSS are brightening - a society should be formed without delay and a prospectus published. The addressee should set about making a catalogue of all he has - urging him to begin forthwith for his own satisfaction and to try to get through it by Christmas. Discusses preparing materials for the publication of the 15 poems.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr. If May 29 will suit the convenience of the members of the Cymreigyddion Society he will do himself the honour of waiting on them. Is convinced assistance has been given in the notes to the Mabinogion; he has the greatest reliance on what the addressee says as to the dialect being Silurian - his own humble opinion as to those productions. The addressee's treasures seem inexhaustible - he mentions in his letter four poems (specified) which the writer never saw or heard of. Reference to the addressee's promise of his company at Christmas.

W. Williams, Aberpergwm, to Mrs Taliesin Williams, Albert street, Merthyr. Since he last wrote Mr B. Pryce has informed him their visit to Merthyr must be deferred owing to his engagements.

Wm Williams, Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tidvil. Reminding him of his promise to write a Welsh inscription to be put on a silver snuff-box that was presented to the writer on his leaving Wales. He has annexed for TW's perusal an 'englyn' sent him for that purpose by one of his old friends - it was composed, he believes, by Mr Williams of the Swan. He has also annexed an inscription which is merely to convey an idea of what he wishes to say.

Wm Williams, Cowbridge Free School, to Ab Iolo, Merthyr Tydvil. The name 'Caerex' (a field). There is still a stone of some note within the turnpike-gate of the East which the writer remembers used to be annually whitewashed by the neighbours and to which the Corporation in their perambulation always used to walk, but he does not know whether it is a part of the cromlech to which the addressee alludes. There is no vestige to the best of his knowledge of the 'Twr y Bontfaen'.

The addressee insulted him very much last night and he does not consider it as a common insult. On the back are some notes by EW and two verses of a hymn, etc.

Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath, to Mr Jenkins, Cambrian Office, Swansea. 'The Birth-day song of the Cardiff Gazette which was intended to be published Jan. 2d 1813.' (Verses by EW).

Taliesin Williams to Miss Petherick, at Mr Budge's, Camborne, Cornwall. Lines entitled 'The Rencounter', written intentionally in the burlesque style, and a copy of 'Morn' transcribed from the first No. of the London Magazine.

Taliesin ab Iolo Morganwg, Merthyr Tydvil, to John Parry, esq., 17 Tavistock Street, Bedford Square, London. His father's date of birth. He fully intends to publish his life in the course of a year or two. He feels much obliged to the Cymmrodorion for their intended notice of his good father, and if not too late for the publication would be glad to transmit promptly some important information in furtherance of their desire.

Replying in connection with the desire of the Cymmrodorion Committee. He has no detached collection of Glyn Cothi's compositions. He had some conversation with Tegid at Cardiff on the subject. A question about the old music in the 3rd vol. of the Myf. Archaiology.

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydfil, to Mrs Powell, Blackwood. Giving his attempts at composing an epitaph for the tomb of her late husband.

[Taliesin Williams], Merthyr Tydfil, to ----. He was informed at Llanover about the middle of last month that the addressee was anxious to collect notices of Lewys Dwnn. Draft. Incomplete.
