Scope and content
A holograph letter, possibly a draft, 1664, from John Lloyde, Wickwer [Wigfair], to a kinsman in London, referring to the writer's daughter [Anne], wife of John Vaughan, a freeholder in Henllan parish, who is troubled with the 'King's Evil' and is about to take a journey to London in hopes of access to the King's presence to receive his touch. The writer names three physicians whom she has consulted, namely Mr. John Lloyd, Marchwiell, Mr. Pugh of Llanbeder, and cousin Wm. Williams. The writer also mentions his sons John and David, and solicits the recipient's assistance in securing a preferment for the latter, who is at the Court. There are references also to 'your nephew & myne' Nedd. Lloyd of Tythyn and the recipient's nephews and nieces in Caredvynyth who are sick of small pox.
