Scope and content
W. Williams to Mr Taliesin Williams, Wellington Street, Merthyr. Will be glad to hear some news of the addressee's health. This delightful weather must be favourable to it, although some poor people would be glad to see rain: when the writer was at Merthyr they told him there were 5,000 men idle for want of water. Rather extraordinary that at this short distance they should be in want of workmen - he can find none to mow the hay, etc. He hears that miners, not colliers, are wanted at Abernant near the Lamb & Flag, by Joseph Price the Quaker - were the addressee to hint this to some men at Merthyr perhaps they would be glad to come. Mr Traherne told him lately that in an ancient MS at Cambridge of the laws of the Franks there are interlineations and marginal notes in a language that no-one for years has been able to comprehend at that seat of learning, and that after manifold enquiries it turns out to be - Welsh.
