Ffeil MB1/48. - Copy letter from T. Edmund Marsh from Llanidloes, to [Viscount Clive],

The mayor has left the town and will not return until the situation is relieved. He himself had contemplated leaving, but has decided to remain. A meeting convened by the dissenting ministers of the town to negotiate a settlement has been a failure. The Unionists did not attend, being engaged in quarrelling among one another. Would like to know when the military forces are expected to arrive, as their appearance will render the place too hot for him. Nos MB1/44-8, all transcripts, are packed together to form one bundle which is endorsed: 'Originals forwarded to Lord J. Russell'.
