Scope and content
In reply to his father's letter of 16 October 1917. In response he acknowledges parcels as well as bank remittances and discusses possible changes to both. Ifor expresses his sorrow at hearing the news of E. G. Coote's death and mentions a serious (but not fatal) injury suffered by the professor (B. J. Dale). He congratulates his father on his successful concert and mentions he is having difficulty reconciling the death of his grandmother. Next he moves on to the subject of his parents moving house. Ifor mentions the 2 alternatives that they are considering, Aberdare (or Abwydeodd) and Swansea. He suggests that Aberystwyth may suit his proposed business plans as well or better than Aberdare. Moving on to the subject of Ifor's future; he mentions that had he decided on the Civil Service he would be obliged to study at Cambridge; should he choose India he will be subject to a long exile (not appealing given his recent experience); should he pick law Aberystwyth will do just as well, would allow him 3 years at home and be cheaper. Further Ifor mentions that he feels his future lies in his own 'little country'. Bangor would do just as well but Ifor writes that he would prefer Aberystwyth. He asks his father what his mother's opinion would be.
