Concerning the good harvest, a probable fall in corn prices, and the extreme unrest in Merthyr. "What is to be done with the labour of this Country this winter? Men earning 15/- per week are now formally demanding relief, from the Parishes. I have resolved that I will discharge altogether any such man, and let him try the Parish living exclusively. The Bull must be taken by the Horns. Thompson says we shall have corn, very dear. I know we shall have it very low, and this perhaps will keep the Rascals quiet. As Bell and the children and Eliza were going to Church on Sunday week a Bitch of a woman called out from a Party of folks who were standing on the path "There go the Devils". The soldiers are frequently insulted in the village, but they are very resolute fine fellows and instantly take in hand their side Arms. All these little things show the inward feelings of the people here. Dillwyn writes me word that he had been called to the House of Correction to quell a riot there, of which our man David Solomon one of the Rioters here sentenced to 12 Ms. imprisonment was the Head".
