Part of A.J. Williams Papers,

The Welsh MPs must meet to discuss Disestablishment, a Land Bill for Wales and intermediate education - 'It will not be easy to satisfy the vague & somewhat vast expectations some ... are cherishing as to what we can do for them by the fancied omnipotence of our membership'. Over Disestablishment, Dillwyn has acted 'entirely on his own responsibility', and it is vital to secure as much support as possible in the House. Wrote to Gladstone before the election about Disestablishment but received 'an evasive reply'. The formation of a League to press for Disestablishment is possible but would be 'a formidable undertaking involving great labour and expence'. The efforts of the Liberation Society have borne fruit in Wales.
