M. Nicholl, Remenham, to Mr Edward Williams, at Mr Wm Owen's, No. 22 Penton Place, Pentonville. She has just received a half subscription from Mrs Freeman of Fawley Court. The distinction between the two Mrs Freemans.

Her surprise at hearing that he has not yet called on the Hon. Miss Nevill. She fears he has not received her letters with subscribers'names and will enclose this to Mr Nichol.

M. Nicholl, Remenham, to Mr Nicholl, Printer (or Mr Edward Williams at Mr Nicholl's, Printer), Red Lion Passage, Fleet Street, London. Informing him that Mr Bloomsbourg is the gentleman to whom he is indebted for the patronage of the Prince of Wales.

A Copy of No. 297, in the autograph of Iolo Morganwg.

Subscribers' names provided by her brother.

The Rev. Mr Roberts, to whom the writer mentioned EW's name, desires the addressee's company to breakfast at Hudsons Coffee-house, New Bond Street, on Saturday morning; 'take with you all the Welsh Grammars you may have in town.' Also included is a wrapper franked by John Owen, London, 12 June 1811 (numbered 300a).

John Owen, 30 Cumberland Street, New Road, Paddington, to Mr Edward Williams, Flimston near Cowbridge. He has determined to come to Glamorgan the moment the addressee can get a house. Requesting him to secure either of the houses he (EW) mentioned, 'that with the land in preference if the house is as good (not else).' Wishing to know the dimension of the rooms, etc. Reference to WO's delight at seeing his old friend the Bard's fist on paper. Contemporary events. A request for the address of the late Lady Robert Mackworth, lately married to a gentleman in the addressee's neighbourhood.

A note addressed to the Bard (?written at the end of a letter to another person), advising him by all means to come out with Tally. The prospects of work and the climate, etc., on the Island. Another inducement Jo has for his company is the assistance he will acquire in his printing concern.

An opportunity having chanced of sending with Mr O. Jones's letter he will enlarge upon things he omitted to answer in his last. Reference to the addressee's avowed intention of giving up all his inclinations towards the poetry, antiquities, and language of his country; if some of his fellow- countrymen have grieved him by their behaviour, urging him not to mind. The Essay on Welsh Poetry that the addressee has come across. He would quite like to see the poetry of L. Glyn Cothi published, but to his mind it would be a greater pity if the Cynfeirdd and the Prifeirdd were lost than the work of Lewys, unless they can all be saved from that fate. He has no doubt but that Y Myfyr will keep them safe if D. ab Gwilym repays the expense (and trouble) incurred. It is a pity that the Welshman in Blaenau Morganwg who has 20 'cywyddau' to Ifor Hael did not see the announcement inserted in the Gloucester newspaper that D. ab Gwilym was being printed or perhaps he would have sent the same to be printed - a pity too that the addressee did not hear about that announcement or else the arrangement of the work would have been far neater. Wishing to hear from him soon. Would it be at all possible for the addressee to see about those 'cywyddau' to Ifor Hael? He (WO) knows that he cannot go on properly until he sees the portion that has been printed - it will be sent to him forthwith.

Wm Owen, No. 17 Great Castle Street, Cavendish Square, London, to Iorwerth Gwilym [Mr Edwd Williams, Flimston, Cowbridge]. His fear that the addressee has applied himself to the intention mentioned in the first letter which he (WO) received. Hoping that this is not so, and also that he has done nothing to offend the addressee in any way. He sees that he is busy about to publish his English Poetry. O. Jones had asked him some time ago to give his name to Mr Nichols for two of the addressee's books and the writer himself wants two. He has sent some sheets as a pattern of the arrangement of the Dictionary which is now a heavy burden on his hands. Asking the addressee to notice any faults and to give his advice for improving it. Wrapper franked by W. Lewis.

Hoping the grief from the melancholy occasion of his return home is now turned to resignation and that he and his family are well and that his brother finds a benefit in his native air. Dr Williams's anxiety about his Sydenham Gorsedd - the writer is at a loss as to getting things ready and will be glad if the addressee will put down a dozen or two triades [sic] adapted to their purpose, in his letter, and let it arrive before the 20th . Sally sets out for Denbigh with Aneurin next Thursday, to stay there till he can fetch them about the beginning of August.

He thought they would have had the pleasure of the addressee's company before now to set the Cambrian Register a going. Williams of the Strand is quite in distress; hoping the addressee will relieve him soon. A secret - Walter Davies is going to battle with the Oxonians for the Medal for this year, the subject for which is agriculture, and he wants some hints. An extract from his letter. Account of a letter lately received from Morgan J. Rhys.

A letter endorsed: 'On the Archaiology, [Sept. 4th] 1798.' Reference to the death of Ed. Evan o Aberdâr. The Llanharan collection, he is told, is removed to Bath - wishing to know who is the possessor of it and the likeliest means of getting some account of its contents. As he is obliged to send several of the printed half-sheets to others to show that the work goes on, this letter must be short.

He has sent a letter to Mr Johns of Havod to announce the addressee's coming and on what business. He finds by the catalogue made by Evan Brydydd Hir that the Seabright collection contains chiefly old charters and hardly any poetry. He is quite delighted with the addressee's touches upon the bardic philosophy, in the Pump Tywarchen letter and his last. He has seen the Laws of Menu a good while ago. He thinks there never was a man of the name of Pythagoras. He is glad the addressee has explained 'Llawd' as he has done, but what was 'haint glas Lodwy', 'Dwy Lodwedd', &c .? (See No. 326, undated.) He wishes much to receive the addressee's account of the Bardic Meeting in time for the Register, in order to keep the subject alive; but his great wish is that the addressee would soon finish the History of the Bards of the isle of Britain. Endorsed: 'Bardism a Revelation.'.

A letter endorsed 'Wm Owen 1799' and 'going to Hafod'. The writer can pretty well guess the reason for EW's disappointments in not meeting the Rev. J. Williams - they have been told here of his having the misfortune of being deranged at times. He will find a £2 note enclosed - if he wants more before they meet, Mr Jones will send it. Reference to what might be wanted to buy the Trevriw MSS, etc., if worth anything.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr. In one of the volumes of the Camb. Register is an account of the tribes of N. Wales - asking him to let one of his pupils copy the part which gives the account of C[ollwyn] ap Tangno's. Has he taken a walk yet over the Cadlan? Hoping to see him in good health.

W. Williams to [Taliesin Williams]. He hopes to have the pleasure of seeing the addressee on the evening before Christmas Day and that he will remain here some days. He has more than once mentioned to the addressee as to others that he would like (at a sale) to purchase the Myvyrian Archaiology. But as that may not occur soon he would give 30s. for the loan of the vols for 6 months.

W. Williams to [Taliesin Williams]. Asking whether they will have the pleasure of seeing him on Saturday for a few days.

W. Williams, Aberpergwm, to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe land, Merthyr. He has just received an old manuscript thick book of Davydd Benwyn's poems: the writing is too old for him to make out - he perceives there are some to this family. If the addressee could come by the coach tomorrow evening (Tuesday) and remain until the next morning he will willingly pay the fare by the mail.

W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Glebe lands, Merthyr. Is in hopes in a few days to send him a few of his crude observations as a kind of premium to his essay, which the addressee may put into the fire if he finds they are foreign to the subject. There is to be a meeting at Neath on Wednesday about the registration: he will attend, to make amends for the part he took at the Election - his position was embarrassing. Will the addressee be kind enough to translate the following into easy Welsh (about the Ballot).
