Acknowledging the addressee's letter of March 17 and the parcel of Salmau which was found to contain only 4 doz. instead of 5.9 copies found on the road from Lampeter to Penybryn. Is glad to find that another volume equal to the first will soon be published. The Unitarians in Cardiganshire have no taste for any other Salmau. The bearer's ability to give any information required. Discusses the number of copies it would be advisable to print.

Rees Davies, Pen-y-bryn, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydfil. Replying to the addressee concerning his father's Salmau - he would have written sooner had he anything to add to what was hinted to TW at Aberdare by RD's fellow-ministers and himself. He thinks the addressee may safely take the volume that is printed as his guide as far as regards metres. The desirability of having an index of the subjects as well as of the first line. He has only one thing more to add - that the Salmau should be upon as various subjects as the addressee conveniently can.

W[alter] D[avies], Manafon, W[elsh]pool, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Gilestone, Cowbridge. It is now a long time since the writer left Glamorgan Requesting the addressee, after consulting his father, to answer the following questions (concerning agriculture, etc., in Glamorgan). See letters from Walter Davies to Iolo Morganwg.

Walter Davies, Manavon, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Schoolmaster, Merthyr Tudful. He hopes to hear by the bearer that the obstacle to the publication of the Cyfrinach y Beirdd has been removed. When he was in the Vale of Glamorgan in 1811 he remembers giving the addressee a copy of 'Awdl Amaethyddiaeth'. He now finds that he has forgotten it, and more, that he kept no copy of it - he has preserved a copy of his other awdlau. If the addressee can lay his hand upon it, will he lend it to him to copy?

Wm R. Davies to Mr Taliesyn Williams. A note in pencil informing him of the sudden death of the writer's cousin, 'Dewi Wyn o Eifion', last Sunday afternoon.

David Davis, Parade, Neath, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Mr Ed Williams the Bard's, Flimstone, near Cowbridge. The death of the writer's brother John on Oct. 27 last at Llwynrhydowen. 'He did more to preserve my father's poetical works than all the world besides.' John's account of a dream. Desiring the addressee to give his remembrance to his father 'to whom I am much obliged for the favour he did me in spending a little time here'.

D. Davis (of Neath), Gloucester, to Taliesin Williams, esq., Merthyr Tydvil. Knowing the addressee's sincerity and believing that the difficulty he feels in making up an opinion definitively is the only reason of his silence the writer sends him an extract from a letter he received from the Rev. T. Price of Crickhowel (Carnhuanawc) and a copy of the letter he wrote to the Rev. T. Price yesterday.

J[oseph] Edwards, 22 Grafton Street, Fitzroy Square, London, to [Taliesin Williams]. As it is probable that Lady Hall may be induced to sit to him for her bust or prevail on Sir Benjn to sit for his, desiring the addressee to write to her ladyship and say what he can in his behalf.

Alfred Estlin, Bristol, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath. Sending the addressee's legacy under the will of John Williams and the joint bill of costs to him and his father and sisters for legal services in connection with the same. Endorsed by EW: 'Alfred Estlin, Bill of Costs &c.'.

[Daniel Evans] 'D[aniel]l Ddu', to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil. He cannot but agree with the addressee regarding the Eisteddfodau. When does the addressee suppose he had the announcement that he had been appointed one of the adjudicators of the poetical compositions at the Powys Eisteddfod? - a week before the day of the Eisteddfod. He sent straight away to say that he would have nothing to do with the work. He is much afraid that Walter Davies and Robert Davies would not assume the task of adjudicating the work of the addressee and his fellow-competitors on 'Y Dydd Byrraf ' now after some kind of an opinion has been given once. The writer's own views in the matter. (In a note in English on the back he states that he is very sorry to hear that the addressee's venerable old father is so poorly).

[Daniel Evans], D[aniel]l Ddu, Maesmynach, near Lampeter, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tudfyl. Acknowledging the addressee's letter of Aug. 28. With regard to his kind invitation he feels much obliged to him, but as he is very little in the habit of sojourning he is afraid to make a promise. Congratulating him on being the successful candidate for the prize poem on the Druids. Regretting that according to his views of the 'cynghaneddion' there are in it some few deviations from the right path, but the arrangement and manifestation of the scholar visible in the poem more than make up for the little inadvertencies. He has not seen the Gwladgarwr and consequently can say nothing respecting Arthur. He has no objection to look[ing] over the poem which the addressee alludes to and to mark out such lines as may appear to him incorrect, but he thinks it would be hardly fair to do anything more. 'No time should be lost and it may be hinted to the author to keep a copy lest some accident should happen to the parcel on the way'.

Evan Evans, Tre ?hwbwb, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr. A nephew of his intends to stir for a prize given by the Marquis of Bute. The writer will feel much obliged if some favour is shown to the would-be historian. (In rhyme).

Rd Fenton, Ewenny, to [?Taliesin Williams]. As soon as he is quiet at home he will do himself the pleasure of being more explicit when he writes to the addressee's father.

T. Price, Crickhowel, to Mr Taliessin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil. It is very possible that he may be unable to attend the Merthyr Eisteddfod at all - at least not in time to attend divine service. (Declining to preach).

T. Price, Dowlais, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil. Is assured that Sir John and Lady Charlotte would feel gratified by any attention the Cymreigyddion might show the Comte.

T. Price, Crickhowel, to Mr Taliesin Williams [Ab Iolo], Merthyr Tydvil. Reasons why it will be out of his power to accept the addressee's kind invitation (to the [Merthyr] Cymreigyddion Society). He feels greatly indebted to the addressee for the manner in which he has noticed the Hanes.

T. Price, Crickhowel, to Mr Taliesin Williams [Ab Iolo], Merthyr Tydvil. He was not aware that the meeting was so soon. In case the compositions do not arrive in time he encloses a list of the successful candidates which will prevent total disappointment. He has given a more full critique in the paper in the packet.

T. Price, Crickhowel, to [Taliesin Williams]. Why he is keeping the MSS here. It will not take him long to make facsimiles when once he knows what to copy. He has written to Lady Charlotte.
