Item 668. - Taln Williams, Neath, to his father, Mr Edwd Williams, Bard, Flimston, Cowbridge,

He failed to meet his father last Sunday week at Southerndown owing to not having received his letter till that very day. Mr Rowland has paid him the money (£11.5.0) - he does not know how to remit it to his father. He was asked 5s.6 for the carriage of a bag of horehound and some other charge. Mr Williams of Merthyr was here lately, and the writer paid him £5 and made himself responsible for the rest. Mr Davis has distributed 30s.3 worth of the Catechism, so that the writer paid no more than £3.10.0 of his own money. He intends now to divide this sum between the addressee and himself, and to deduct his father's share from the money he has in hand. He wishes very much that the addressee had accepted what was proposed to him at the meeting, for it will be difficult to pay off the whole soon and it must be done. His mother and sisters have done him more injury than they are aware of in not sending his clothes. Requesting another bag of horehound immediately. He has had Curtis on Grasses.
