Two holograph letters, early seventeenth century, the one [?1610] from Tho: Salusburye [bookseller, etc., in London, 1593-1604], at his house 'in cloth fayer in London', to Sir John Wynne, kt., 'att his house in Gwyder', the other, undated and imperfect, from Wylliam Holland, St. John's Coll: Cambridge, to his brother, Mr. [ ] Holland at P[ennant?] in Eglwyse vaghe. Sir John Wynn was anxious to know whether the Psalms had been translated into Welsh and Thomas Salusbury had sent him 'a coppy of them yt are printed' [i.e. the small volume of Edward Kyffin's Psalms (1603)]. He [Edward Kyffin], according to Thomas Salusbury, had finished about fifty before his death seven years previously in the time of the great sickness [?1603]. The letter also contains mention of Archdeacon [Edmund] Price and of an edition of Camden's Britannia. The William Holland letter relates to family matters and is an attempt to show that he is not unnatural but well-disposed towards his kindred.
