He has lost no time in making every inquiry relative to that lot of the Abermarlais estate which the recipient enclosed. The demesne is very improveable and well worth any tenant in its present state £450 a year. The dwelling house is not so ruinous as it appears to be, most of it being unoccupied and useless has caused the decay, but h part that the tenant inhabits is in tolerable tenantable repair, and should the recipient think it deficient, there is great plenty of stone and sound timber in the useless part of the building to repair it and all the houses in the lot at a trifling expence without any injury to the house the tenant lives in. Pen-Gwain-gynnydd and Park Glasffryn are not improveable in its present state - the buildings bad, but if a term was granted it will admit of an advance of rent. The mill is at present an uncertain income from accidents, unless a term is given. The cottages and smith shop improveable; the leases, etc., obvious. On the whole he thinks the property very desirable, and well worth the recipient's attention. The demesne, exclusive of the park, he estimates at 15s. an acre, which is by no means a high valuation, others having often computed it at 18s. an acre. The park at £50, together well worth £450 a year. Mr. D. Thomas and the writer have been comparing their sentiments and consider the property worth £14,000, and whatever 'you' estimate the privileges as lord of the manor, which from the contiguity to Edwinsford and the influence it will give 'you' in 'your' public capacity, is worth giving something more than the value of the estate. He sincerely wishes the recipient to become the purchaser below his valuation, but he has reason to think that the recipient may make a better bargain immediately than delaying it, being apprehensive that Lord Hawarden has not as yet made a strict enquiry, and others may step in. He hopes to hear of the recipient's success when probably a bonfire on the top of the park may melt the snow that at present hides the verdure of the Caio hills. Sincere thanks for a liberal supply of very fine hounds. He is happy that his journey to Salop has been delayed, being now better able to judge what kind of a hunter to buy - blood and bone must be the object. Mother and sisters unite in most respectful compliments to Mrs. Hamlyn and the recipient. Please to present compliments to Lady Hughes.
