Ffeil Brogyntyn MS II.54(f) i & ii [RESTRICTED ACCESS]. - Letter on an infant's death,

Two copies, [early 18 cent.], of a letter addressed to 'Cousin Owen' [?Sir Robert Owen] and signed 'Row: Owen', offering the recipient comfort and advice on the death of his infant son. MS II.54(f) i, written in a neat italic hand, is probably the prototype of MS II.54(f) ii, a bound presentation copy written in a calligraphical italic hand. A comparison of the two copies shows that a number of words have been carelessly omitted throughout the text of MS II.54(f) ii; and a Latin verse which follows the letter in MS II.54(f) i has also been omitted. There are also some orthographical differences between the texts.
