Encloses an inventory of her brother's things left there, which Ellen Owen was pleased to give the writer in consideration of the trouble taken with her brother during his sickness. Hopes she will not retract anything which she was pleased so freely to bestow, nor permit the writer to receive further trouble from any other person. She confesses she has been more nobly dealt with than she should have been from many others, although probably she would have fared best if it has pleased God to restore Mr Owen to health, whose generous mind and temper differed far from many of that profession. She realises that it would be more becoming to sympathise with her correspondent than to make reflection on her own unhappiness occasioned by the quartering of that sick regiment in this place, and so will forbear from troubling her correspondent with what befell her whole family on that occasion.

She has sent to Mr Francis Hill of Plymouth for the £10 which she understands Carew had left to pay what she was out for Mr Owen. But she was surprised to find that Carew had recalled the money of Mr Hill, and that Col. Ffloyd was to pay. She has applied to the Colonel both before and since he went to Ireland, and she has been informed that she shall never have a penny from him. She assumes that Carew has never been informed of her misfortune from having taken his kinsman into her house, for it is evident that she thereby lost her husband and is left in so mean a condition that £10 is a considerable part of the stock she has to live on. The money is owing to a neighbouring shop-keeper from whom her husband fetched the wares for the funeral, and he is now calling for it. Begs him to pay or to let her know the names of Mr Owen's brother, mother and sister and where they live.

Hears that Owen wants a good workman about the building. Mr Broughton has been the writer's carpenter and chief contriver of his concerns for fifteen years.

Congratulations on his appointment as Sheriff of Merionethshire. Beg a favour which they hope will not damage Owen while benefitting their poor corporation. They need not remind Owen of the great conveniences the writer has in keeping his assizes at Harlech above other places, and they have no doubt that if they are vouchsafed his patronage they could bear them off with as much credit as any other town in the county. Both his and his virtuous lady's ancestors have favoured them on like occasions, and they hope that even in this he will not degenerate from them. Remind him that he has condescended to enrol himself a member of the borough for the defending of its ancient privileges. It is now in his hands to raise their now disreputed mother-town to its ancient repute and credit amongst its neighbours.

Gives William Maurice hearty thanks for the kind token sent unto his poor daughter.
