The letters, 1896-1905, relate primarily to printing and publishing matters, notably the publication of Y Brython Cymreig, produced at Lampeter, and The Journal, based at Carmarthen, both of which H. Tobit Evans edited. J. H. Davies published items in both newspapers. The letters also refer to contemporary events in Wales, especially in the educational and political world, and the publication of various Welsh books. Some of the letters arrange meetings between Davies and Evans.
