William Crawshay, Jr., to George Thomas [Ystrad (mynach?)],
Rhan oCyfarthfa Papers,
Intimates that he will be compelled "consistently with convenience and interest" to build his Tin Mill on the Forest Side of the river, and will therefore treat with recipient for the use of appropriate parts of the property. A long argument in mock-Parliamentary form to prove the value of the works to recipient and to set forth what are logical and fair terms for water rental, the use of recipient's bridge for the transit of iron to the Glamorganshire canal, and the use or purchase of recipient's coal. An invitation to meet the writer either at Newbridge or Ystrad or Cyfarthfa.

Assuring recipient of his wish to deal with him "for both Coal, Road and Water and all other convenience at once and not to make any' Dutch Auction' between your and Christopher James's Coal".

A second invitation to a meeting.

Concerning his power of attorney to act for Mr James of Swansea and the necessity that a Master of Chancery should be directed to wait upon the writer; his refusal to send Lewis Vaughan any money for a honeymoon "jaunt"; the advisability of ordering Halkett to keep "the property in repair". "The spirit of discontent in the Poor of the Country generally is very bad, and I fear only is its infancy. The levelling principle is the one to be adopted and an increase of the Military force indispensable".

Rhan oCyfarthfa Papers,
Making arrangements for the weighing and delivery of bark to recipients and payment therefore.
