In a late tour through some parts of Glamorgan, he took a view of Margam Abbey. He was exceedingly pleased with the old chapter-house, 'one of the most curious and elegant samples of Gothic ingenuity of any in Brittain', but was sorry to see it so much neglected. Were it properly repaired in its original taste it would be a very proper repository for a collection of curious pieces of antiquity, to which might be added some extraordinary productions of Nature, also a collection of ancient MSS, especially in the Welsh language, etc. He is told that the addressee shortly intends to rebuild Margam Abbey. The beautiful landscapes about Margam - a lofty tower on the summit of the hill would have a noble effect. There is a fine round tower of this sort in the park at Cotham House near Bristol, but he would recommend a much larger tower than that in Cotham Park to crown the hill at Margam. He is also told that the addressee intends removing Margam village to a greater distance from the Abbey - asking the addressee to pardon him for proposing the following plan (including the erection of a good school-house). The fear of having presumed too far prevents his affixing his name to this address.

He arrived this morning at Biddiford. An account of his journey by water from Bristol - he never expected to see his dear Peggy again in this world. On the reverse side are some verses entitled 'The mountain shepherd'.

Almost two years ago the addressee was pleased to permit the writer to open a freestone quarry at Pyle. He began to do so then, but being called suddenly away to a gentleman for whom he often worked in Dorset he was obliged to desire of his brother to carry on the work for him. As soon as the writer turned his back several at Pyle took away the stone raised at his expense. A renewal of the addressee's permission availed nothing. Reports (untrue) that the men they employed had not been paid. It is true that he has not carried on the work at the quarry as expeditiously as he could have wished as he was long detained from home by a broken arm and long sickness, but coming home last winter he forwarded the work as much as he could at the quarry and got to pretty good freestone at last .. (Incomplete.) On the dorse are a few lines 'from DG', a fragment (II. 1-6) entitled 'Cdd yr adar', a list of 'Books at Wm Morris', and a draft of a letter 'To the Editor of the Cardiff Gazette'. The last item is of later date than the others.

Dr Morgan of Cardiff delivered him (EW) the addressee's bills some time ago and also called last Saturday, and the writer is sorry that he is not yet able to settle the affair. He gave Mr Rees of Court Coleman about a month ago some papers to recover for him a small mortgage debt due from lands in co. Mon. As he intends waiting on Mr Rees in the course of a few days he will on his return give the addressee a more satisfactory account. ?Copy.

Writing to inform her of his good success. Mr Matthews of Landaff. He must come home soon for some papers that he very much wants, to lay before the Antiquarian Society at the request of one of the members. He hopes she has received his last letter: when he sends her money in a letter she ought to send him word of its safe arrival the very next post. Requesting her to send this letter to Mr Walters after she has re[ad it].
