Taliesin Williams to ----,

[Taliesin Williams], Merthyr Tydfil, to ----. Drafts of two letters, the one apparently to the Rev. -- Griffiths, who has removed his children from school without due notice, and the other acknowledging the interesting contribution towards a History of Swansea which the addressee was kindly pleased to present to him.

T. Belsham, Essex Street, to Mr Edwd Williams, Flimstone, Nr Cowbridge,

His intention to have written by Mr Davis of Neath in reply to the addressee's favour of Jan. 14. He hopes however that he (EW) has received an answer to his letter in its essential points by receiving (per Mr Davis) a copy of the new edition of their Liturgy as he had desired and likewise a copy of the writer's Calm Inquiry. He is glad to hear that the good Cause is going on so prosperously in the Principality. Mr Davis gave him a very high character of the addressee's book of hymns. He wishes that some of their English poets would employ themselves in a similar manner so that there might be no temptation to mangle and mutilate Dr Watts. The addressee complains very justly of the harshness of Dr Darwin's verse in Dr Disney's hymn-book, but the fault is not in Darwin. He is glad the addressee approves the Calm Inquiry so far as to think it worthy of being translated into the 'antient British', but fears that it will hardly answer to publish it. He had forgotten that he had sent the two guineas to Thomas Evans. It is not worth while to mention it to him again. If it was of use to him and his family at the time the end was answered. He hopes Mr Davis had a safe journey home.

Elisa. Blades, late Price of Boverton, to her Cousin,

Her pleasure at hearing by his brother that he was well and settled in good business. For her part she is involved in trouble and can't get out of it without the assistance of friends. Enclosing a letter to be delivered to an unnamed person with a request to know the answer. The addressee should not direct his letter to her lest it should fall into her son-in-law's hands, but should direct it to Mr John Lloyd, Grocer, in Sadler Street, Wells, Somerset. The writer signs herself 'your loveing Aunt ..'. Endorsed: 'Mrs Blades Letter'. The part containing the address has been torn off.

The Rev. J. Bowen (of Bath), Bear Inn, [?Cowbridge], to Mr Edd Williams, Cowbridge,

The writer is deprived of a great pleasure which he hoped for. He would be very happy in an opportunity of thanking the addressee for much satisfaction in the perusal of his Poems and also to hear that he is about to indulge the public with more of his productions. Asking about a book which EW said he was about to publish about two years back and a collection of curious monumental inscriptions (in Glamorgan). Are they completed and are they to be published? Endorsed: 'Rev. Mr Bowen 1801'.

J. Curre, Itton, to Mr Edward Williams, No. 1 Star Court, Chancery Lane, London,

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.

Walter Davies to Mr Edward Williams, Flimston,

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.

Walter Davies, Llanwyddelan near Welsh Pool, to Mr Edward Williams, Flimston, Cowbridge,

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.

Walter Davies, Manafon, Welsh Pool, to Mr Edward Williams, Bard, Flimston near Cowbridge,

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.
