[James] Watkins the millwright returning home enables writer to enquire if recipient has recovered from the fatigue of his journey; a continuance of fair weather can be expected.

Writer has been at Carmarthen Quarter Sessions; he will be with recipient tomorrow evening.

Writer has received recipient's letter; Howel of Llwynrhys is not as far from the truth this time as he may be at other times; writer is glad that recipient has given him a helping hand, as he would lose the money sooner than recipient's being disturbed about it. P.S. Writer begs his remembrance to John and the good old woman his mother and Nancy.

The receipt of recipient's last letter of the 14th. instant [sic] from London was a real pleasure to writer; Mr Chamberlayn Davies has written to state that recipient had dined with him, and that he had leased his Glascomb tithes to Mr Edw[ar]d Davies [?Lewis], member for New Radnor, to rid himself of the insuperable difficulty of providing a curate; he had thought of coming to settle in this country, but does not mention it now; writer desires the second part of the history of recipient's lawsuit, before the hurry of the tithe gathering comes on; recipient may be able to instruct writer in qui tam actions for non-residence; writer is to visit Monmouth assizes and Pembrokeshire, both for the first time, and then Brecon and Presteigne; he has the gravel upon him very bad; after being rid of one of a different character, a most worthy bishop, Dr Lowth, is to be translated to Oxford; Dr Moss is the person talked of as falling to our lot; writer wishes to know how recipient likes his new neighbour and parishioner Mr Lascelles, and how they settled the tithe.

Writer has been at home since his return from Bath in May; he stayed there for about five weeks; his physician, Dr Jenings, ordered some opening pills and then some glysters which were repeated with some purges; finding himself rather more low-spirited than before, 'we' came home at Mr Wynter's desire; writer is rather better than he was, but a great deal thinner; writer and others persuaded Mr Wynter not to enter into partnership in the coal trade with one Edwards, brother-in-law to Mr Powell of Langeney; recipient's curate has behaved ill to him and the parish; writer will write to Mr Chase Price; writer complains of recipient's behaviour to Mrs Awbrey and in opening his correspondence; Mr Weale has sold one of writer's young mares for £11.11.0 although she had been as poor as a rake; as his hay harvest is over, writer intends going to stay with the quill in Glamorganshire or to Landrindod.

Writer troubles his quondam school-fellow on behalf of 'my' poor old neighbour and 'your' kinsman; he likes not to be idle, but few will employ old people whilst they can get enough of young people and to spare; as none of his children can assist him, recipient is requested to lend him a small relief.

Writer's aunt and recipient's relation has departed this life after a painful illness; recipient has remitted to her her annuity.

Enclosed were 'our' notes value £220. 0. 0.

Writer hopes that recipient had a pleasant journey to his diocese; the weather has been most temperate; Miss Williams is somewhat better; writer suspects that a desperate gang of thieves have crossed the channel from Devonshire as there was part of some notorious gang [known to Sankey of Llyswen] at Hay fair, we should follow the example of the Carmarthenshire gent[ry] and ask every Englishman his business; a gentleman in Carmarthenshire wishes to know whether recipient intends selling his estate in that county. P.S. Recipient uses John's flame very ill by keeping her lover from her so long; if he does not soon return he may find her in a consumption; had he omitted the above, writer would have begged recipient to bespeak a willow cap for John, for Betty [Miss Williams's maid] was asked in church last Sunday; she is to have Mrs Minors's John; he has again taken 'our' turnpikes at £60. 0. 0 per annum.

Writer wishes to know if recipient wishes to continue the lease of Nantyrhabodd Farm in Glasbury granted to his late brother; it is worth £10. 10. 0 a year; heriots in the manor of Boughrood due on the death of Mr Roger Jones must now be paid; writer will be at Knighton next week.

£4. 4. 0 Is due from recipient in the manor of Boughrood since 1777; the debt was returned to the officers of the crown on the death of writer's brother.

Writer has received a message from Mr Williams [by recipient's order] that has surprised her, for Mr James Price of Bronith, who waited on recipient on behalf of 'us' has written that 'your' cousin Jones showed him 'his' brother's will, wherein recipient and her sister are left an annuity of £20. 0. 0. per annum; writer, being the survivor, supposes she was to enjoy this sum; if the case is otherwise she will have to alter her plan of life; it was great goodness in 'our' kind benefactor to leave 'us' anything at all, and it was recipient's bounty to add to writer's last quarter. Seal.

Writer requests recipient to accept a little of 'our Worster Tobbacco', and his thanks for 'your' kindness to him when with 'you'; a few months before he died writer's father empowered an attorney to act in Pantyleverth affair; he assured writer that 'I' was heir to the estate and that recipient ought immediately to execute a release of his right therein at his decease to writer.

A copy of the terrier signed by Mr Sotheren [sic], Mr Lascelles and other gentlemen has been procured; there is no exemption of any sort of tithe in the township of Stapleton; writer will pay recipient's procuration money at the next visitation; Mr Benson expects Mr Bateman soon; recipient may appeal to the court at York if he thinks the charges of 18s. 9d. at the corrections are an imposition; writer saw 'Bishop Ray' christening some children in Wakefield church; Mr Noble, Mr Elmsall, wife and writer will be glad to hear of recipient's better health. P.S. W[illia]m Gelder thinks that the tithe of his 'St foyn' seed is recipient's right; Mr Sale has demanded it.

Writer requests payment of the principal and interest of recipient's bond.

Writer is the daughter of Eliz[abe]th Jones, late wife of Morgan Davies, near Llandovery in Carmarthenshire; Eliz[abe]th, who has been dead some time, was the daughter of recipient's father by his second wife; writer married a tailor and stays-maker in Llandovery, and came to London about five years ago; 'we' did tolerably well till 'my' husband died leaving three small children; writer has since suffered inconceivable distress, and humbly solicit's recipient's goodness; she will get her situation fully explained by people of character and reputation in London.

The visitation is to be held on 30 July in the parish church of Wakefield; if recipient does not attend personally, writer supposes that John Millthorp will pay the accustomed fees for him; writer has only lately recovered from a fit of the gout; the small pox has carried off two or three children; writer names the people who have died since recipient left Yorkshire; Mrs Lund, the wife of recipient's late curate, has had a relapse of her hypochondriac disorder; the hay season is rather indifferent, but good crops of corn are likely; Barbara has full crops in the garden.

Recipient never acknowledged the receipt of writer's letter acquainting him with the visitation on 30 July; a notice has been fixed upon the church door of Darrington that application was intended to be made for an act to enclose waste grounds in the manor of Cridling Stubbs in the parishes of Darrington and Womersley; the harvest is at the height; the Rev[eren]d James Torre of Snidal has died.

Writer has purchased a few small fields close to the town, and desires recipient to peruse the writings; the auction for the sale of the other estate, advertised in the Hereford paper, is on 8 Oct.; writer requests recipient to be 'here' on Saturday or Sunday, when the proprietor will be at Talgarth. P.S. This new purchase will oblige writer to make a new will.

Howell of Loyn Rhees has told writer that he has paid £20. 0. 0 into recipient's hands towards discharging the bond of £40. 0. 0 due to 'that Widow' and Tom Williams the attorney, of Brecon; he also said that recipient would lend him £10. 0. 0 if writer did the same, which he will do to avoid getting into the claws of Tom W[illia]ms. P.S. Writer hopes to see recipient if he goes to Hereford assizes.
