A contemporary, [?1917], manuscript translation into English of a circular letter, in Welsh, dated 5 March 1917, from David Lloyd George, 10 Downing Street, urging Welsh farmers to do all in their power to aid the war effort.
The letter was circulated (and published) in both English and Welsh versions (see NLW ex 1824 and NLW MS 9982E, f. 124, respectively). The present manuscript appears to be an entirely independent translation of the Welsh version as shown by the use of 'Welsh Farmers' in the final paragraph, translating the Welsh 'Amaethwyr Cymru', where the original English version reads 'The farmers of this country'.
