Walter Cope, Tho. Lake, G. Coppin, Tho. Midleton, W. Smithe, Tho. Watson, William Pitt, and Fra. Morrice, from the house of Sir George Coppin in the Strand, to ... Hearty commendations. They send the names of such things as they have purchased of His Majesty within those counties, and which yet remain in 'our' hands unsold. The writers heretofore offered the tenants the preferment of the same, but because 'they' have not repaired to 'us' to compound with 'us; or to pay the rents that have been since due, the writer pray the recipients to let 'them' understand that 'we' have been dealt withal for the things in their several tenures by such as 'we' perceive have some purpose to question 'their' estates, either upon some omission of payment of rents or upon some other defects in their lease, and that 'we' are not willing to sell to any stranger to bring a tenant into suit or trouble unless it shall be upon 'his' own negligence or refusal of 'our' offer first made unto 'himself'. The recipients will likewise signify to 'them' that 'we' will expect 'their' repair to 'us' until the end of Trinity term next and no longer; and the recipients likewise in the meantime forbear to receive any of their rents, which are due to 'us' according to 'our; grants. P.S. The tenants may buy their things in fee simple or fee farm. The writers also desire the recipients to certify the names of all such tenants as 'you' shall deal withal to this purpose. Copy.

He acknowledges the recipient's letter of the .. inst. returning the bill for £120 specified in No. 2971. There is no doubt it will be duly honoured.

By the same letter they have received two other bills amounting to £31 in lieu of one for the same amount from ?Matthew Butterworth returned 'you' for non-payment the 18th Jan., which remittance with tally with 'our' receipt o the 2nd Jan. on Mr. Hodgkinson's account, as the recipient has been so good to add to these bills the expense of noting. For self, Robert Snow, Willm. Sandby and Son.

He advises his father against going to Switzerland, if only because it will be impossible to remain stationary at Interlacken or any other place, and consequently because of the charges. 'The Rhine ... is your mark.' Greetings to his mother, the lassies and Dick, - 'the Hales & Co. look upon him as one who will be fit for nothing but a drawing room'.

He is in a small fright with regard to the recipient's intentions concerning Pen, 'your greatest oppressor and tyrant'. 'I would do nothing tyrannical to him nut I wd. Give him his full mead of justice to the very brim.' God grant it may all go well. He would be quite satisfied if the recipient has implicitly abided by Leburn. He has been more gay than ever in London, and his looks and health are suffering from it 0 he is only 11 stone 9 pounds.

He entreats the recipient to discharge his prisoner Rees James for 'he' has compounded, as appears by this letter, with all men saving Ralf Lee, and if 'he' sues forth a 'ducas tecum', the writer will bring the recipient the body of the said Rees, and see the recipient sufficiently saved harmless.

Laugharne's demand; if not done, the writer shall be sued for the same.

Of the pictures brought here this day by Mr. Hamlyn, the two largest miniatures are totally unknown to the writer. The two smallest pictures set as bracelets are of the late Duchess of Bolton and the late Judge Vaughan, both of 'my' father's family, and were given by 'him' to 'my' eldest sister, who wore them in the form they are now. Upon her death 'my' father gave them to Mrs. Hodgkinson. They were much valued by 'my' father. From Lady Vaughan 'he' enjoyed a considerable estate. The small miniature is the late Mrs. Price, daughter of the late Sir Wm. Owen, and was worn by Mrs. Hodgkinson as a bracelet set round with diamonds, till 'my' late dear mother presented her with 'my' sister's picture. It was then taken out of the setting, and 'my' sister Williams was put in the place. When Sir Joseph was so good to acquaint 'me' that Mr. Hodgkinson had been kin enough to leave 'us' 'my' father and mother's pictures, and the miniatures of the Williams family to 'me', 'I' had flattered 'myself' that 'my' sister's picture must have been one of them, and was particularly grateful for a legacy that restored to 'me' the resemblance of so many dear friends, having been so unfortunate as to lose all the family pictures in the late dreadful fire at Clovelly. If the recipient of Sir Joseph thinks that picture was not meant, it alters the case entirely; 'I' drop all claim to it and receive it very thankfully as a present from 'you'. ['I'] have returned it with Mrs. Price's and the two unknown miniatures, for 'your' jeweller to take out from the bracelet the picture, being the only valuable part of it to 'me'. She begs leave to thank Sir Joseph for a promise of Mrs. Hodgkinson's picture, which she understands he and Mr. Hawley are kind enough to intend for 'me'. 'I' know of no miniatures there ever were of Mrs. Hodgkinson but one 'I' had and was burnt at Clovelly, and one 'she' gave to the late Mrs. Price. Best compliments to the recipient, Sir Joseph, and Mrs. And Miss Banks. Writer's copy.

A thousand thanks for the miniature of 'my' late dear sister. If anything could enhance the value of it, it would be the very handsome manner in which it was given. Best compliments to the recipient and family. Writer's copy.

It mad 'me' very happy to find by 'your' letter that 'you' were in good health. 'Your' kind present has put 'me' in high spirits, and will spur 'me' on to apply closely to 'my' books in order to merit 'your' remembrance. 'My' mother is much recovered since her residence at Tunbridge. 'We' are all in high health and much enlivened by the harp. Best remembrance to 'you' and 'my' sisters.

Jas. Hamlyn from Clovelly Court, to [David] Thomas at Edwinsford. He has written for Mr. Williams's return from camp to give him cover for his letter. He finds it much easier to pay away a large sum of Money than to get it together. He hopes that those whom the recipient paid are perfectly satisfied. The recipient will be supplied with cash for the remainder as soon as possible. He was in hopes that the Committee had settled the small bills that remained unexamined. At the same time he thinks that Mr. Bishop and the other gentlemen named at the last meeting would with much propriety settle the extravagant bill for lodging, etc. he dares say that Lord Robt. Seymour will assist the recipient, and 'our' good friend the Admiral also. The Carmarthen bills are of that sort that the claimants may very well wait 'our' convenience. Mr. Jas. Williams of Narboth will be among the first to be discharged - 'his' bill is cut down by £41 by the Carmarthen Committee. He has talked to Mr. Williams about the survey of 'his' estate. 'He' agrees that the recipient should inquire from Mr. Hassel the latter's terms and fix the season for viewing the farms and valuing them. Perhaps it might be done before Lady day. The term to be granted to the tenants is for one life. He left his butter and cheese account with the recipient, without keeping a copy. He hopes the masons had finished the wall of the stable yard before the wet weather, and that they are going on briskly with the interior work. Mrs. Williams wrote fully on her piggery, and the recipient's management of it. The coppice wood is to be cut next spring. How does the wheat crop flourish in Dole Grimblyn, and after the potatoes? He supposes the labourers are going on with the fence to Brynabon Wood. He hopes Charlotte and Orlando are quite well. P.S. Prices of wheat, barley, beef, mutton, pork, wool, butter, and potatoes.

He desires the delivery of the enclosed letter of petition to Mr. Lewis of Gwinfe by Dio, for 'his' signature, and its return under cover to Mr. Williams, directed here. Mr. Williams sets out for London tomorrow morning. He hopes Dio got safe and well across the Channel. He will be happy to hear that the recipient enjoys good health, and that Mrs. Lloyd of Cwmcutta is quite well. He wishes the recipient could come over here to see their great ox.

He hopes the recipient will not condemn him for a bad correspondent. Three or four friends of his son's propose next week to pay a visit at Edwinsford, and he thought he would give him a hint to have a fowl by the heels and any little thing else. They intend to be there on a Wednesday night at supper or on Thursday at dinner. The recipient will order two beds to be well aired. He hopes this letter will find him quite hearty and well, and the stock and farm in fine order. The young ladies and Miss Edwards desire to be remembered to the recipient and their Welsh friends.

Comments on James Chichester's desire to go to Oxford, with reference to the opinion of Mr. Jacobson, Vice-Principal of Magdalen Hall, and Mr. Sanders of Tiverton School. He also encloses a reply to 'Buck' from Lord Fitzroy Somerset concerning an application to the Horse Guards on behalf of George. Compliments to Lady Mary, etc. If the recipient wishes to enforce Mr. Sanders's opinion and advice, let him do so direct to James Chichester.
