Item 366. - Wm Owen, Penton Street, to [Edward Williams],

In his last he hinted about the addressee's getting the £40, and yesterday came a letter from Gwallter Mechain informing Myvyr of his having been with EW and settled about the Agricultural Report. Myvyr finding that money must be very necessary to EW in his present bad state of health loses no time in furnishing him with a part of the £40 by sending the enclosed draft for £10. The rest shall come at different times, but the writer supposes Myvyr wants to see how soon he can have a parcel of papers from him for the Archaiology and the Grûal, yet this is nothing of a condition. He only hints at this from Myvyr's having frequently taken notice of EW's taking with him all the books wherein such articles might be found. But what he wants to press upon the addressee is that as Myvyr is throwing all the past into oblivion he also should come halfway. He wishes very much the addressee could make up a packet immediately on the receipt of this, as a mark of forgetting the past and of pleasing Myvyr. Among the papers EW sends might come y Barddas, etc. Endorsed: 'Mr Owen Sepr 18th 1805 in a Navy office Cover, with a 10£ drafft. [part of 40£ and mystery as usual].' On the wrapper in the autograph of Margaret (Peggy) Williams is a copy of a letter from ----, Spanish Town, Jamaica, to ----, 22 July 1805, advising him to send out a power for the purpose of looking after his children's right.
