Jno. Williams, London, to his brother, Mr Edward Williams, Carver, 'at Mr Brooks Iron Munger & Carpenter near the Lower Church, Wells, Somersetshire'. He received a letter from his brother Thomas dated at Wells the 21st Oct. He hopes that the addressee will find everything turn out to the utmost of his expectation. Some advice, for there are a great many of what may be called rogues in the world. The writer was married on Wednesday, Oct. 19, to the lady who visited EW at Cheltenham, not the one Mr Solice saw at Tewkesbury, but still he is equally obliged to the addressee for his kind information, as he has no doubt but (that) it proceeded from a sincere regard for his welfare in general. He will come down to Wells in the course of three or four weeks to see him and his dear sister [i.e. in-law] and child on his way to Flemingston to see and take his leave of his father and the rest of his friends before departing for Jamaica. He received a letter from their brother Miles, who was very well, &c. ?Repeating his request for the lines mentioned in No. 619.

John Williams, Spanish Town, [Jamaica], to his brother, Mr Edward Williams Junr, Flemingston near Cowbridge ... or Else where. He has written to the addressee frequently but has received no answer, for what reason he knows not. Assuring him that he has ever wished to be on the best of terms with him. When Brother Thos returned to Jamaica the writer was truly happy to find his health so well established. Miles (who has left his native country upward of 17 years) intended sailing by the last fleet but was sadly disappointed by the strange conduct of Brother Thos who has behaved more like a lunatic than a brother. The writer hopes he will soon have the pleasure of seeing the addressee and then he will relate every circumstance and the cause of TW's vile behaviour. Poor Billy Morgan unfortunately died about Oct. 17 last, which gave him great uneasiness - B[?rother] Th[omas's] conduct in Wales.

The convoy expected in April did not sail until May 30, but previous to that date a misunderstanding happened between his brother Thomas and him, the particulars of which he will relate to the addressee if ever they will be so happy as to meet, but his most flattering hopes cannot promise him (MW) that pleasure till April or May next.

Mr Pryse of Gogerddan wishes much to know the etymology and meaning of the name of his mansion; Dafydd ap Gwilim lived and died near the place, as did also Mr Lewis Morris whom the writer once when a boy had the pleasure of seeing and conversing with, but then he was not able to benefit much by LM's conversation. Address: Dr Rice Williams, MD, Aberystwith. Franked by Pryse Pryse, Faringdon.

Taln Williams, Parade, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bardic-lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge,

He manages business extremely well here and Mr and Mrs Davies do everything in their power to render his situation agreeable. He has hitherto vainly expected the parcel. The woman from Pen y vai did not call on him as he expected. He spent most of his spare time (on) Monday with Mr Penton's son. Mrs Davies is still very poorly.

Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath, to Edwd Williams, Bardic- Lodge, Flimston,

Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bardic- Lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge. Acknowledging his letter from Dunraven. Is particularly gratified by the addressee's account of the embankment, its composition, and antiquity. Begging of him to send the marble very soon - the addressee knows his reasons for trying his hand here. Is sorry he (Tal.) has sent the Cardiff Gazette song to the editor of the Cambrian. The predictions of the song. A rumour strongly prevailed here yesterday that Napoleon had been taken, and the bells have been ringing yesterday and today on the account, but he fears they have been rather beforehand in their exultation. Mr Morgan desires his most respectful compliments and begs hard for something for Mr T. Rhys.

Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath, to Edwd Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston,

Taliesin Williams, Parade, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge. His father's letter has made him extremely uneasy for he greatly fears that he (EW) is dangerously ill. Advice from Dr Jones, who most earnestly requests EW to apply to some medical gentleman immediately. He has no time now to explain the awkward circumstances that have prevented him from writing to Mr Jenkins. Geology, Sanscrit, etc.

Taln Williams, Parade, Neath, to his father, Mr E. Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge,

The letter which he received this morning is so extremely short that he does not thank him for it - he wishes his father would in his letters now and then favour him with some particulars Re Wales and its Literature. A request for various things. Mr Davies of Cringell tells him that Margam was at one period a bishop's see - what does the addressee say? He will in the course of nine days or so send a congratulatory address to Thos Williams on the birth of the writer's namesake - requesting an 'englyn' or two, or he will try something himself. He has some verses, very poor ones, on the late events - he will send them by his sister Peggy who came here last Saturday and will return in a few days - she is at Gelligron.

Taln Williams, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Flimston,

Peggy returns home this morning. Can the addressee make it convenient to meet him next Sunday at Llandyfodog? Is much vexed concerning Gileston house - asking the addressee to write to let him know his intention. Requesting him to bring with him Lewis Hopkin's poetry - he would also be very glad to see Edwd Evan's and Wm Moses' poetry.

Taln Williams, Parade, Neath, to Edwd Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston,

Taln Williams, Parade, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge. He hopes the addressee will write what he promised for him in the course of a few days; the personage who is to be the subject was here today and will be here again today or tomorrow week. If the addressee does not know what he alludes to, he should consult the memorandum he made and put in his pocket-book at Cringell. 'Dymunol fyddai bod yr Awdl (stanza) yn llithrig', etc., but any kind of assistance will be very welcome. The addressee can easily answer his purpose if he will and the writer will send him any book he may wish to have to commemorate the favour. His clothes.

Taliesin Williams, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bard, Gileston, Cowbridge,

On his return here he called on Mr Dare, and mentioned to him some thoughts he had of opening a bookseller and stationer's shop at Bridgend. Mr Dare very much urged him to add to it a school for a limited number of pupils, to which he then partly assented, but having since thought on the subject and having an utter aversion to school-keeping he has made a firm determination that his present situation shall be the last of this nature. Begging of his father to call on Mr Dare immediately to thank him and inform him of the writer's resolution. Hoping his father had an opportunity of mentioning him to Mr Hall. He is really much distressed at having no prospect before him. Should nothing present itself between this and Midsummer he has positive intentions of going to Jamaica, to arrange and wind up his affairs and those of his sisters. He believes that Mr Davis has partly settled with another to supply his place. The school continues to increase rapidly. The great civility and kindness of the Pictons - he met Mr Edwardes there.

Taln Williams, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bard, Flimston, Cowbridge,

He failed to meet his father last Sunday week at Southerndown owing to not having received his letter till that very day. Mr Rowland has paid him the money (£11.5.0) - he does not know how to remit it to his father. He was asked 5s.6 for the carriage of a bag of horehound and some other charge. Mr Williams of Merthyr was here lately, and the writer paid him £5 and made himself responsible for the rest. Mr Davis has distributed 30s.3 worth of the Catechism, so that the writer paid no more than £3.10.0 of his own money. He intends now to divide this sum between the addressee and himself, and to deduct his father's share from the money he has in hand. He wishes very much that the addressee had accepted what was proposed to him at the meeting, for it will be difficult to pay off the whole soon and it must be done. His mother and sisters have done him more injury than they are aware of in not sending his clothes. Requesting another bag of horehound immediately. He has had Curtis on Grasses.

Taln Williams, Merthyr Tydfil, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bard, Flimston, Cowbridge,

His surprise at hearing that no box had been sent by the barge - he very much fears that it is lost. Peggy, he supposes, has reached home by this time. Is sorry to hear that his father and mother and sister are in bad health. If he had a few articles to send to the Cambrian it would attract public attention and procure him some scholars - he wishes the addressee would send some historical or biographical sketches that would answer this purpose. Being without books or papers it is impossible for him to prepare anything. 'If I can get you to send me some things, they shall go in my name to the Cambrian'.

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydfil, to Edward Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston,

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydfil, to his father, Mr Edward Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge. Mr Williams the Banker did not mention the day that he expected EW at Newbridge. The writer had no idea that his father would be there on Monday and Tuesday. They wish he had been able to come here. Nancy has made up her mind to give up her school. He will take his mother in a chaise to Flimston in the ensuing vacation - the addressee and Peggy must be kind and attentive to her. She is very poorly indeed. He was not at the Eisteddfod - he could not muster the money. The names of the prize- winners. The subjects for the next Powys Eisteddfod. He intends trying his skill on all of them, and hopes to succeed, with the addressee's assistance. He has commenced on Dinystr Jerusalem - his plan. He purposes, if he satisfies himself in the composition, so as to hold out a good hope of success, to take the addressee with him, in a hired gig, to the Eisteddfod. Requesting his father to do his best for him. He considers his Awdl 'Ar y Dydd Byrraf' far superior to any of the prize poems. He will send some money to Eglwysbrewis in the course of a fortnight - his school increases. He hopes that Peggy is careful and does her best. Telling him not to let this letter fall under the eye of anyone. Endorsed: 'Taliesin. Account of the last Carmarthen Eisteddfod 1823'.

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil, to his father, Mr Edward Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge,

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil, to his father, Mr Edward Williams, Bardic Lodge, Flimston, Cowbridge. Is sure that the addressee blames him very much for not writing, but they have been this last month so short of money to meet the expenses of the house that actually for the last fortnight the writer could not afford to pay so much as the postage of a letter to him. Relating to the Caermarthen Journal and the crutches. He procured a copy after much difficulty of Benjamin Francis's Hymns - Mr Jenkins gave him an estimate of printing a similar volume. The children. Asking his father, if his health will permit, to write soon and let him know what he thinks of their recent publication - Awenyddion Morganwg, - and particularly of his (Tal.'s) Preface.

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil, to Edward Williams, Flimston,

Taliesin Williams, Merthyr Tydvil, to his father, Mr Edward Williams, Flimston. 'Per favour of Mr R. Lewis'. He has not heard from the addressee this long while. Elizabeth's health. He cannot say exactly when she will be able to undertake the journey (to Flimston) with safety, but he trusts it will be sometime in May - she is now recovering strength. He has no good news to tell - 'Iron is reduced and with it the wages of the men, who have, in consequence, struck, with very few exceptions'. The addressee will see by this circular (on which the letter is written) that they are going to have another Eisteddfod here next Monday - he intends withdrawing from them entirely very shortly. 'Dr Lloyd has left Merthyr - It is expected that Thomas Evans of Aberdare will be the Minister of the Chapel'.
