The letter (f. 90) was discovered in 2020 in a laboratory at Ysgol Ardudwy, Harlech, inserted in the frame of the portrait (f. 92). According to a note on f. 92 verso the photograph had been copied in 1961 with the help of Mr Brynle Hughes, the son of J. D. Hughes, Corwen; the letter was presumably given by him to the school at that time.

Natur a chynnwys
A letter, 29 July 1896, from the inventor and telegraph engineer David Edward Hughes, London, to his 'nephew' J[ohn] D[avies] Hughes, Corwen, discussing a copy of 'Joseph's Book' at the British Museum, J. D. Hughes's recent visit to London and D. E. Hughes's forthcoming trip to Berlin and Paris (f. 90). Also included is a copy, 1961, of a photographic portrait of David Edward Hughes (f. 92).
'Joseph's Book' is British Melodies (London, 1839), a volume of tunes composed by D. E. Hughes's brother, the musical prodigy Joseph Tudor Hughes (Blegwryd). Since D. E. Hughes's surviving siblings and their descendants all lived in the USA, J. D. Hughes will not have been his actual nephew; the precise familial connection is unclear.
