Note
A later note in pencil refers the reader to J. Ll. James ['Clwydwenfro'], Cymanfaoedd yr Annibynwyr (Dolgellau, 1867-9) [see pp. 31-5 of that work]. 'Clwydwenfro' refers to 'ysgrif-lyfrau' in the plural and it would appear that there was then another volume or volumes containing notes of sermons heard to 10 November 1805, which were also at the time in the possession of 'Caledfryn'. Dr Thomas Richards was under the impression that Catherine Edwards's book of sermon notes once in the possession of Caledfryn had been lost (Caerns. Hist. Soc. Trans., Vol. 16, 1955, p. 60).
