Tho[mas] Thomas to [Thomas Williams of Edwinsford],. He has received the recipient's letter with the copy of Mr. Morgan Davis's letter [No, 4559]. The first proposal 'he' makes is best for 'you' while 'we' will be getting the lease renewed on the remainder of what 'he' claims and making 'you' a sufficient compensation for those fields which 'he' claims. Those which 'he' claims are the chiefest things 'you' hold by the lease. How this affair can be settled at present, he cannot tell, nor how safe 'you' will be to make a bargain with him when there are so many difficulties amongst themselves in the Corporation. The recipient will hear again, if necessary, when the writer sees Mr. Davies. He has received the recipient's of the 15th and will talk with Mr. Jones of Dole Cothy about Llanvaire lease. P.S. Complinents of the season. Pray send a few franks.

He received the favour of recipient's letter on the 4th instant and 'your' last on Sunday last, in answer to which he is to acquaint the recipient that Capt. Williams of Talley at the same time 'he' entered on the whole tree and copyhold estate of 'his' father's in Carmarthenshire, 'he' at the very same time entered on that freehold estate in Cardiganshire, and not and received the rents, issues, and profits thereof for 'his' life, and after 'his' decease likewise 'his' son Mr. Thos. Williams, 'his' widow Mrs. Williams, and her son Lloyd Williams, esq., in succession, and 'you' received since part from J. Harrys. And for 'your' further content and satisfaction, when the recipient has searched all 'your' title deeds lately carried to Edwinsford from Brecon, 'you' will be fully satisfied of 'your' right and title to Carmarthenshire as well as this trifling Cardiganshire estate, which 'I' shall describe to you' when 'I' wait on 'you'. It has been for a trifling rent. The writer is very ill and tired, and must abruptly conclude, wishing the recipient long life, health, and happiness in all his enterprises. Most humble service attends Mr. Thomas Williams.

He understands by this bearer that the recipient is willing to give him security for £100 with his (the recipient's) cousin Mary Bowen, but the recipient did not write so much to him. In respect of his kind proffer, f the recipient will take the pains as to come tomorrow by nine of the clock to Carmarthen... the recipient will join with him to assist him out of those troubles which his unnatural brothers brought him into. Best wishes remembered to the recipient and his wife. P.S.

The hurry he was in yesterday at his parting with the recipient made him clearly forget to acquaint him that on Sunday last he received two letters, one from his cousin Gri. Lloyd and the other from Cousin Hec. Harries. The latter was to desire the payment of the. £38 Due by 'our' testator on Sir Row. Gwynne's account. 'He' says 'he' has stayed a long time for 'his' money and had according to 'our' desire written to Sir Rowland to demand it of him, but that .Sir Rowland said 'my' uncle Williams had goods of 'his' of a much greater value and seemed concerned 'his' executors had so long deferred payment, and, as the writer remembers Hec. Harries says 'he' knows several of the goods that came to 'our' hands were sir Row. Gwynne's. The writer has had several letters from him to the same purpose, and so he doubts not has the recipient. Therefore if the recipient thinks fit, he will be contented 'he' should be paid it, and if it be proper, for 'us' to write to Sir Rowland about it. The other letter was to acquaint him that 'my' cousin Nich. Williams had money ready to be lent to pay 'us' off the £400 mortgage, and in order to draw an assignment, desired to have a copy of the deed in 'our' custody, because the counterpart is above in London. 'He' says 'he' had written to the recipient to the same effect. He desires therefore the recipient would be leased to order somebody to take a copy of the deed for it is in 'your' custody), and that the recipient would transmit it to 'my' cousin Gri. Lloyd, and ... shall be much more at ease from 'our' testator's creditors, and quiet a great many clamours. He returns the recipient most hearty thanks for the great warmth wherewith he appears in the writer's favour upon the present competition. Let the recipient be pleased to renew, as occasion offers, his instances to the several. freeholders that they may be kept from warning. The Colonel assured the writer 'he' would not appear against 'me', and that 'he' told Mr. Price so, but said 'his' interest? was engaged before 'he' came. Most humble service to 'your lady and the two young ladies. [Mutilated and Stained].

Mr. Thomas Williams and his Lady having suffered a common recovery of the estate in his country long after their marriage was the only reason the writer had to think there was no occasion of suffering any other. The deeds for that purpose executed were by the advice and recommendation of Mr. Phillips drawn by Mr. Edward Williams of this town, since deceased, and several years ago were with others delivered to Mr. Lloyd Williams. There are no other deeds remaining with 'me', but what copies thereof have been sent 'you'. he knows of no purchase made by Madam Frances Williams at any time; if any was (as the writer believes there was none) the deeds were drawn by Mr. Edward Williams, for 'my; acquaintance with her was not long before her death. Last week one William Thomas was with 'me; to know unto whom 'he' should pay the year's interest of £40 'he' owed Mr. Lloyd Williams by bond. Any further commands 'you' shall be pleased to favour 'me' with shall with all readiness and sincerity be observed.

Mr. Evans and the recipient's sister are, it seems, aweary of their lodging, and are determined to set up housekeeping. 'They' were in hopes Mrs. Powell would have let them into part of Penynant House and to find themselves, but 'they' met with no encouragement. 'They' are now about taking the house on the Bullwark, where Widow Hughes formerly lived, - it is the other side the way over against Charles Lewis's. Mr. Evans has solicited him very much to write to the recipient about the latter's goods that are in a room at Mrs. Aubrey's; 'he' would be a purchaser, if the recipient is so inclined to dispose of them, and would give for them what any person shall judge them worth. 'Yours' of the 25th instant is this minute come to hand. He is much concerned to find by it that the recipient has been so much indisposed and that there is a necessity for a Bath journey, but all means must be used to procure and preserve health. Mr. Evans's interest money, which is duly paid 'him' and no arrears remaining, has reduced 'your' cash in hand to about £40. He will send to Charles Price to hasten in as much as will make up the sum the recipient writes for, and then send to Mr. Thomas Evans to pay 'you' that sum; 'he' goes some day this week for London. With great respects to Sir Nicolas.

This day he received a letter from Mr. Charles Price, who was agent to Mr. Lloyd Williams in this county, dated the 15th instant, wherein 'he' desired the writer to signify to the recipient that 'he' intends upon Wednesday next at farthest to wait on the recipient at Edwinsford, with all the papers relating to the affairs under 'his' management. He hopes what the recipient was pleased to mention in his last to the writer is come to light. What commands 'you' shall be pleased and sincerity be readily observed by 'your' most obedient and most humble servant.

At his return home last night, he received the favour of recipient's with the melancholy account of the death of his dear friend Mr. Lloyd Williams, which afflicts him much and has quite broken a scheme he intended in 'his' favour. The account he had of 'his' estate in the county, he sent 'him' in August 1739, with the particulars of all 'my' receipts and disbursements since 'I' was concerned in receiving and paying, which was the only matter 'I' did. The account between 'him' and 'his' agent, the writer did not intermeddle in. He will by the first opportunity send to 'his' agent to acquaint him with the recipient's commands. He will strictly observe the recipient's directions about the writings, etc., and on all occasions endeavour to demonstrate that he is in great sincerity and truth the recipient's most obedient and most faithful humble servant.

He has been favoured with the recipient's by Mr. Brooks, and is much concerned the recipient cannot find the deeds and the exemplification of a recovery belonging to the estate in this county. He hopes upon a second and careful search they will be found. He sent to the agent that received the rents in this county to wait on 'you' with the rent rolls with all speed. Mr. Brooks brings 'you' an account of the securities remaining in 'my; custody, which shall at any time be delivered to 'your' order.

News of the probate of the will of Mr. Lloyd Williams's mother. A Fiat was had of Mr. Davies, on of 'our' surrogates, bur the will continues in the Registrar's Office, no probate being made out. He would be glad to hear what mistakes, if any, there are in the writer's account, delivered to Mr. Brooks, 'your' servant, of the writer's receipts and disbursements relating to Mr. Lloyd Williams.

Enclosed is the receipt given for the £400, part of Mrs. Evans's fortune, which by her marriage articles was to be paid to Mrs. Powell, Mr. Evans's aunt. The articles remain, he presumes, in the hands of Mr. William Vaughan. When the recipient comes to hand, he requests the recipient would be pleased to signify the same.

Immediately on receipt of the favour of recipient's, he set about copying of the dead, which 'you' will receive by the bearer attested by 'me'. Mr. Lloyd Williams had a copy of the uses sent 'him' by 'me' some years since, which ought to be among 'my' letters to him. He will take particular care of the deed and have a great and just regard to 'your' commands. Pray pardon 'my' scrawl, being pretty much fatigued with reciting the copy, not willing any other should have a sight of the original. With great truth.
